Description Daniele Segato CLA 2011-12-15 09:44:22 EST 
Build Identifier: 

Sometimes libraries javadoc are more detailed then the javadoc in sources.

I develop in Android, javadoc attached with android contains information for every field, class, method on when it has been introduced (which API version).

This is a vital information for Android development.

If I attach sources Eclipse generate the javadoc from the sources and those informations are lost.

I require the ability to tell eclipse (globally and/or by project / library) to prefer javadoc when present even if sources are available -- on third libraries at least.



Reproducible: Always
