After upgrading to Eclipse 3.1M7 (and the matching MyEclipse version) I can no longer specify javadoc location for the .jars under Plug-in Dependencies. In the previous version (M4 was the last one I used), I believe I simply right-clicked the .jar, selected Properties and then Java Doc Location. This still works for other .jars (the JRE jars for example), but for the .jars under Plugin dependencies, I get a message telling me that javadoc location can only be attached to Java projects or archives and class folders in Java projects. Do I specify the javadoc location somewhere else, or is something broken? Oh, and by the way. since the javadoc is included in the Eclipse distribution, someone really ought to do something about getting the javadoc locations configured, so that it just works out-of-the-box :-) Maby someone already started doing that - hover javadoc seems to be working, but external javadoc (via Ctrl-F2) does not.
This bug needs to be in the "Core" component. I don't have privs to update the bug. Claus, can you move the Component to "Core"? Thanks!
Moved to core as reqested.
Class path entries for referenced plug-ins are managed by the PDE class path container. Since the container is marked as read-only, we can't set the Javadoc locations from outside anymore (note that storing Javadoc locations as class path attributes got introduced in 3.1). Moving to PDE. To get this working again PDE has to support modification of class path attributes or has to autodetect the Javadoc and add provide this attribite for the generated class path entries.
