Specifying the Documentation Search Path

From the Javadoc tab in the Explorer, you can add and remove directories, JAR files, and zip files that the IDE uses to locate Javadoc-generated documentation. By default, the search path includes:

To add a directory, JAR file, or zip file to the search path:

  1. In the Explorer, click the Javadoc tab.

  2. In the Javadoc tab, right-click the Javadoc node and choose Add Directory or Add JAR (for a JAR or a zip file).

  3. In the Mount dialog box, select the directory, JAR file, or zip file that contains the Javadoc-generated documentation.

    When selecting a Javadoc documentation directory, make sure that it has an index-files directory or index-all.html file in the top or the second level of its hierarchy. Otherwise, a search will not work.

  4. Click Mount.
  5. The new search path is added to the Javadoc tab.
