I love the feature that I can link Javadoc to the .jars I use. This is particularly useful for complex libraries like SWT and the JRE. However, I believe that setting up swt to look up javadocs could be more obvious (better marketing of this excellent feature). Here are the steps required today: 1. Create a docs directory on disk(e.g. c:\docs) 2. unzip ..\m4\plugins\org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv_2.1.0\doc reference* 3. Right click on the swt.jar in the project to point to the unzipped javadocs. c:\docs\reference\api The problem with the approach above is that it requires the user to "discover" a number of things before he gets up and running. Also, these steps have to be repeated on each developer machine participating in a project. Possible enhancements? - Add automagic setup of javadoc for JRE - Add automagic setup of javadoc for SWT Øyvind
No action planned for 2.1 (unless we get external support).
>No action planned for 2.1 (unless we get external support). I would have made this a feature request for >2.1, but the enhancement request does not list include 2.2. Perhaps there should be "whenever" for feature requests?
Reopening...
For JRE this now can be done using the Installed JREs preference page. When importing Eclipse plug-ins this is best done by PDE since it knows about the layout of the Eclips installation. Moving to PDE.
