Hi Adolfo

I agree a). But surely the references are created by the Javadoc
script, so its just necessary to change the Javadoc script onvce for
each release.
The references are relative URLs which expect the javadoc in the
org.eclipse.doc/references/javadoc folder. I'll have to turn such
references into absolute URLs. Every release the version number will
have to be changed (fortunately, it'll be easy with the search/replace
tooling).

I prefer www as the location, but I see that Xtext is on downloads, so
I'm happy with either location.
After chatting with Kenn, I've concluded that it's easier to promotion
scripts to deal with downloads area (in which we can move, unzip files)
because www area are managed via CVS. Therefore, we will use the
downloads area to place the javadoc.

P.S: Axel, re-open the bugzilla I'll fix the issue tomorrow.

Best Regards,
Adolfo.

Another side effect of removing javadoc from the doc plugin... >.<
... Some alternative ideas to correct this:

a) Changing Links so that they have absolute URLs to a
javadoc-per-release area from downloads (i.e
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/ocl/javadoc/3.1.0/)
+ No extra size in doc bundle.
- Links need to be revised every release, so we make them point to
the correct URL.
+ Every release will have a link to the corresponding Javadoc
(MDT/OCL 3.1.0 Help would have links pointing to MDT/OCL 3.1.0 Javadoc)
b) Changing Links so that they have an absolute URLs to a unique
javadoc area from downolads (i.e
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/ocl/javadoc)
+ No extra size in doc bundles.
+ Links don't need to be revised every release.
- Every release would have a link to the last generated Javadoc
(MDT/OCL 3.1.0 Help would have links pointing to the last MDT/OCL
Javadoc)
c) Reintroducing the javadoc into the plugins
- Extra size in doc bundle.
+ Links don't need to be revised every release.
+ Every release will have a link to the corresponding Javadoc
(MDT/OCL 3.1.0 Help would have links pointing to MDT/OCL 3.1.0 Javadoc)

My opinion is:
- The third advantage/disadvantage should not be acceptable (then b)
discarded).
- Giving that the absolute link's URL maybe changed at once with a
simple search & replace, this is not desirable but admissible .
- The extra size in doc bundles is not desirable but admissible.

The compromise is the extra effort to manual changing the
javadoc-per-release URL (once per release) vs sizes in bundles.
Giving that we actually had to consider to manually change the
references/javadoc/index.html file, I'm inclined to adopt option a).
However, if you prefer any other option, let me know it....

P.S: Axel, re-open the bugzilla with the problem you have detected...
I'll fix the problem as soon as we agree on the solution.
P.S2: Ed, In the end are we moving the javadoc from downloads to www
area ? I think I'm asking this to Kenn to obtain a third opinion.

Best Regards,
Adolfo.

Adolfo,

I installed the nightly build into an Indigo M6. The javadoc links
such as
http://127.0.0.1:51730/help/topic/org.eclipse.ocl.doc/references/javadoc/org/eclipse/ocl/examples/eventmanager/EventManager.html
fail to load. To be expected? Shouldn't they refer to the external
documentation? Do I need to adjust the links in the documentation
sources?

Thanks and best,
