Question

When we import the external library to eclipse Java project, we can use the auto-correction feature of eclipse for the imported methods from new libraries but we can’t see what the methods specifically do. We have to import library’s documentation.

Question1: How can I import documentation into eclipse project?

Question2: What does Java Documentation look like?

Question3: Which file format does Java documentation use?

Answer 1

• Right click on your project->properties->java build path
• select the libraries (its generally .jar file)
• click on the dropdown of the libraries to expand the settings-> select source attachment none and click on edit
• select the source to the doc ( java documents generally represented by JavaDoc)
• click okay.
