using Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede and I cannot find the way to add javadoc support for all platform plugin apis, but specifically to JFace e Ui Forms packages.
Opening the property panel of any jar linked to the library named ‘plug-in dependecies’ I receive the following message into the ‘Javadoc location’ node:
The current class path entry belongs to container ‘Plug-in Dependencies’ wich does not allow user modifications to Javadoc locations in its entries’…
what does it mean, that I must re-build Eclipse with some wired javadoc location?
If you have the eclipse SDK ‘classic’, ‘RCP/Plugin’ or ‘Modeling’ installed, that means sources for the eclipse plugins are included.
While it is true you cannot setup Javadoc for those plugins, you still access to that documentation since the sources are here, fully ‘Java-documented’.
If there are no sources, you still can import all eclipse plugins with their sources in a dedicated workspace.
