Source or javadoc for plugin [message #306159]

Hi,
could you please write me some instruction
on how to add source of any plugin which
I have made a plugin by using wizard
'extract a jar package and make it plugin'.

If I make a plugin say from mysql-connector.jar
by extracting its contents into new plugin project
and then use this plugin in my applications
then I am not able to attach a source code to this
and have no description on auto completion.

If I pick mysql-connector.jar as jar and add it
to my project then I can attach source code
(file or folder) to it in the project preferences.

So how to to that in the first method?

Just my 2¢: Why are not simply creating a plugin from the
MySQL-JDBC-Sources instead of the creating a plugin from the Jar-File?
Another question is why you use MySQL-Classes instead of the generic
interfaces from java.sql.* and javax.sql.*.

Oh and i just saw what also might work. When creating a plugin from jar
don't extract the Jar-Content but instead add the complete Jar and then
you can attach the sources to the jar in the
mysql-plugin-Properties-Window. I have not test this because I never use
the MySql-Class directly.

The mysql was just for an example :-).
The question is general - sometimes we have to extract
jar into the plugin project and I want to learn how
to attach sources to them.

Why do you need to uncompress them and cannot use the leave me them as
Jar's by unchecking "Unzip the JAR archives into the project"? I for
myself always had problems when unzipping the files and it's also easier
to update the plugin if a new version is available.

Thanks for answer.
I'll try your idea. I thought I must uncompress jars
into plugin project because I read that on this
news group :P
