Description Matthew Hertz

No matter if GEF is downloaded from the GEF website or via the Eclipse update, the source code and javadoc comments are not attached.  While I can manually browse through the plugins/org.eclipse.draw2d.source_3.4.0.v20080115-33-7w3119163_ directory this is a pain.  Why isn't it all made available?

I download the GEF-SDK-3.4.0.zip and can see the source code when developing in the Eclipse PDE.

What GEF zip are your downloading or what update site?

I just grabbed GEF-SDK-3.4.0.zip from Unixheads.org, I've also tried GEF-SDK-3.4.0.zip & GEF-ALL-SDK-3.4.0.zip from RIT, and downloading everything via the Ganymede->Graphical Editors & Frameworks (+ Uncategorized) sites multiple times (I have not figured out how to to direct Update to a site in Ganymede, so I do not know which sites it is using).  I did not think I was, but could I be missing some step in the install?

I just grabbed GEF-SDK-3.4.0.zip from three mirrors, Unixheads.org, IBM Ottawa and U of Waterloo. All are the same (sum and md5sum).

So the next question is how you unzipped.

Why not simply download one of the Eclipse packages at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

I have used both Window's built-in unzip and 7-zip to unzip these products.  So the javadoc and source code was installed (this was always true in the sense that I can see the directories), but it does not come up in tooltips or when debugging code.

As the maintainer for the install at my school, I'd prefer to add onto the version I have to support (e.g., the version made available in our labs).  I could download a new release, but it seems like I should just be able to download it.  Thanks!

Matt, you are unzipping the GEF ZIP into your target eclipse, right? You shouldn't be unzipping/installing GEF in your IDE, unless it is also your target.

Having installed GEF 3.8.0M4a, the source code seems to be properly attached. The javadoc however does not seem to be properly linked yet.

Cross-checked this again and verified that having 3.8.0M4a installed, the javadoc is now also properly attached. As such, resolving this as fixed in 3.8.
