I agree that the workflow is not well supported, but it's not that awkward: > In order to correct this situation, the user has to separately locate the > corresponding JAR in the Eclipse classpath container [..] > This can be extremely labour intensive if the project has dozens of libraries > on the build path. [..] You can - open the element (F3) - choose Navigate > Show In > Package Explorer - walk up the tree to the JAR > To make it even harder, libraries aren't displayed in alphabetic order, in fact > they don't seem to be in any order at all. They are in the order in which they have been added to the class path. > I think that the "Open External Javadoc" error window should provide a > hyperlink that opens the properties dialog for the reported JAR's > classpathcontainer, where the user can supply the missing javadoc location > settings (and, if needed, source attachment). Or add a question "Do you want to configure the Javadoc location?" with OK/Cancel. >> I think that the "Open External Javadoc" error window should provide a >> hyperlink that opens the properties dialog for the reported JAR's >> classpathcontainer, where the user can supply the missing javadoc location >> settings (and, if needed, source attachment). > > Or add a question "Do you want to configure the Javadoc location?" with > OK/Cancel. Whatever is more consistent with the current Eclipse behaviour in similar situations. The hyperlink style is consistent with the popups that e.g. alert about updates to be installed. I think it was also used in a similar error pop up relatied to some other aspect of configuration. |
