Description Benny Vaksendiser CLA 2004-10-09 06:47:34 EDT 
Hello, 

I am writing a plug-in for the eclipse environment. In this plug-in i need 
access to the JavaDoc comments of different java elements. I'm currently using 
the method, JavaDocAccess.getJavaDocTextString(), for this job. But this is an 
internal method.
My request is for external method that could replace the internal 
JavaDocAccess.getJavaDocTextString() method.

Regards,
Benny Vaksendiser.

Move to JDT/UI
Comment 2 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2004-10-11 06:34:38 EDT 
Such an API is better provided by JDT/Core instead of JDT/UI since it is core 
functionality only.

JDT/UI has no plans to make this internal method API. Moving to JDT/Core to 
consider a public method to access the Javadoc of an IMember.

Reopen as LATER is deprecated...
Comment 5 Frederic Fusier CLA 2007-06-21 07:48:55 EDT 
I think that IMember.getJavadocRange() method, available since 3.2, should address your requirement...
