Eclipse jars, Javadoc location, Eclipse 3.1 and Eclipse 3.2 [message #289994] Tue, 16 August 2005 12:32 Go to next message

In the New and Noteworthy of the Eclipse 3.2 M1 we can read:

" PDE now automates the task of attaching Javadoc to libraries found on your
plug-in's build path. "

In Eclipse 3.1 I couldn't find any way to modify the Plug-in Dependencies
read-only container to add the Javadoc location in order to use help thru
shift-F2.

My questions are:

1) Is this container really read-only and so we cannot modify the javadoc
locations of the jar files it contains.
2) Is there any other way to add javadoc location to the Eclipse jar files
we use in our plug-ins and RCP applications. Eclipse 3.0 alllowed it and it
seems that 3.2 automate it. What about 3.1?
3) If not, is it a bug? In this case will it be corrected in a maintenance
release of 3.1 or we have to wait to the release of 3.2.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

That's the reason I updated to 3.2M5 now. But -- I don't find a way to
activate this new feature.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. In the "New and Noteworthy" document
[1] a screenshot of defining the Javadoc location is included, but I
can't find this "tree" in my configuration.

Is it a screenshot of the "Package Explorer"? I've got a node "Plug-in
Dependencies" in the "Package Explorer", but all jar-nodes under this
node only show the content of the jar (META-INF folder, class-files and
about.html) instead of "source attachment", "javadoc location" etc. The
jar's properties dialog tells me, that "javadoc location can only be
attached to Java projects or archives...". Where do I define the
Javadoc location? And how can I make PDE find it automatically?

I assume that's the same problem, isn't it?
