Hi,
I tried by adding a random dependency to a testing Maven project. The
dep was rome:rome 1.0. Then I entered WireFeed class name to my class in
editor and I can successfully Show Javadoc on that item from editor.
What library do you have as the dep? If not a public one, can you try
what I mention above, see if it works for you and then compare contents
of the rome's javadoc and your javadoc?
Please, file a bug under Projects/Maven with your findings.
Thanks

I started using Maven as the build tool instead of ANT for all the
obvious reasons. One thing that does not work is that I cannot invoke
the java documentation (right-click > show Javadoc) in the editor for
objects that are in the Libraries section of the project navigator. I
get the dreaded "Cannot Show Javadoc Here" message.
The documentation files are there -- I can right click on the library
in the project manager, then pick "View Javadoc" in the popup menu,
and the index for the library comes up. Then I have to search out and
navigate to the object I wanted. The URL it feeds my browser points
to a local file into the Maven repository ( .m2/* ).
This is quite a pain (whine).
Is there a way to get the javadoc in the index list or whatever needs
to happen to get the editor's context-sensitive help function to work?
I bet it would save me about 400 hours a week.

I don't need to do anything exotic. |

If the Maven artifact contains the javadoc, you should be able to
right-mouse click on the Libraries folder and select Download Javadoc.
If the artifact maintainers didn't attach javadoc to the item, then you'll
have to find it and install it locally.
To do that, I did the following:
| Code: | 1. used jar to create an archive of the javadocs
a. did it at the root of the javadoc tree
b. included the resources directory (if any)
2. Right-mouse clicked on the library, selected Add local javadoc
a. browsed to the jar file I created above
b. added it
3. Then copied the file to the right location with the right name |
For example - freemarker javadocs . . .
| Code: | 1a. cd freemarker-2.3.16/docs/docs/api
1b. jar cf freemarker-2.3.16-javadoc.jar * freemarker/ resources/
2a. browsed to the jar file
2b. added it
3. cp freemarker-2.3.16-javadoc.jar ~/.m2/repository/org/freemarker/2.3.16 |
Not very pretty, but then right-mouse clicking on the library and selecting
view javadocs works. I haven't tried it from within the editor.
I don't like installing artifacts directly into my local repository, but if it's
just javadoc, then it might not be too big of a problem.
. . . . just my two cents
