Open External Javadoc is useful as it provides a combination of outline and comments. There seems to be no way of providing such a location for Eclipse Plug-ins. Steps: 1] Consider I am using in my plug-in the class org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractDecoratedTextEditor 2] I press Shit+F2, and get the message: "The documentation location for 'AbstractDecoratedTextEditor' has not been configured. For elements from librarires specify the JAvadoc location URL on the properties page of the parent JAR ('org.eclipse.ui.editors_3.1.0.jar" 3] I right click on org.eclipse.ui.editors_3.1.0.jar and go to properties. I get the message "Javadoc location can only be attached to Java projects or archives and class folders in Java projects. Source folders use the location specified at their project." 4] I right click on my plugin > properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Plug-in Dependencies > org.eclipse.ui.editors_3.1.0.jar > Javadoc location. I see the text "(None) - non modifiable".
This seems to be a regression, Open External Javadoc for Eclipse Plug-ins definitely worked in Eclipse 3.0
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 52894 ***
This bug is not a duplicate of 52894, since this bug is a regression (it worked in Eclipse 3.0) and 52894 is a new feature (which makes the current bug not as important). Anything I can do to get a fix into 3.1.1?
The way Javadoc locations are stored has changed in 3.1 requiring PDE to provide this information now. JDT/UI can't mange this info anylonger for PDE class path containers. That's why this one is marked as a dup of 52894. Fixing this in 3.1.1 requires back porting some parts of 52894 to 3.1.1.
What is needed to get the backporting done (especially since it is a regression)?
I already talked to PDE. There is nothing JDT or you can do here.
