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:
- The
javadoc
directory in your IDE installation directory
- The Java API directory (for example,
/usr/jdk.3.3/docs/api
),
if your IDE is installed in a Java 2 installation directory
To add a directory, JAR file, or zip file to the search path:
- In the Explorer, click the Javadoc tab.
- In the Javadoc tab, right-click the Javadoc node
and choose Add Directory or Add JAR (for a JAR or a zip file).
- 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.
- Click Mount.
The new search path is added to the Javadoc tab.
To remove an item from the search path:
-
In the Javadoc tab of the Explorer, right-click the path and choose Remove From Javadoc.
