Description Andrew Johnson CLA 2021-04-07 04:36:43 EDT
Eclipse MAT has javadoc which we include as part of our help. This javadoc includes links to the Eclipse Platform javadoc.

This used to work, as some old documentation shows, but now doesn't, probably because the Eclipse Platform help is missing the file 'package-list'.

https://help.eclipse.org/2020-03/topic/org.eclipse.mat.ui.help/doc/org/eclipse/mat/ui/snapshot/views/SnapshotOutlinePage.html

which has a link from 'Page' to
https://help.eclipse.org/photon/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/ui/part/Page.html?is-external=true

We now get build problems trying to build those links.

  [javadoc] javadoc: warning - Error fetching URL: https://help.eclipse.org/2020-03/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/

This is probably because

https://help.eclipse.org/2020-03/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/package-list

is missing.

2020-06,2020-09,2020-12,2021-03 all have the same problem.
