I just downloaded Eclipse several hours ago, and needed to add Java3D to the classpath. Installing it went without a hitch, but Eclipse can’t seem to find the documentation folders so that it can give super-IDE functionality, such as autocomplete and method signatures.

While I know how I would add them individually, this lead me to the question; what is the ‘correct’ way to install a Java library in Eclipse? Is there a special directory format I should follow? Is there a plugin that already did this for me? (The answer to that is yes, but I don’t know how to use it, or whether or not it’s appropriate).

Thanks!

Edit 1: It seems to me that someone down-voted the question. May I ask why?

Edit 2: So after monkeying around with the JARs, it seems that manually setting the doc path for each JAR in the library seems to be the least-error prone way.

  1. when you add a .JAR(library) to your project in the LIBRARIES tab for your project, you have the option of attaching the javadoc directory for the jar.

    So, go to the LIBRARIES tab of the ‘java build path’ for your projects. select your jar. expand the (+) sign and you will see that you can set the javadoc. path.

    good luck,
