IDEA external Javadoc

General
1

Hi,

I’m using IntelliJ IDEA 8.1.3 and after some difficulties I now have almost everything going just fine.

The only thing I can’t get to work is the external Java Doc, referencing the Vaadin doc only works for classes, documentation for methods just won’t “hook up”.

Any ideas any one?

Hello,

You can attach vaadin sources - IDEA will generate javadocs from them. (as i remember vaadin jar contains sources)

Thanks!

That worked just dandy!

Still a bit weird though, that the normal “Attach javadoc” didn’t work. Neighter by URL nor the Vaadin zip-archive.

Anyway, I’m a happy bunny.

It works, but You must specify path to zip archive and_inside zip_.
But as mentioned above vaadin-6.5.x.jar contains sources, so you can attach it as sources and IDEA will generate javadoc “on the fly”.

PS:
But, if you want External javadoc then:

Looks like javadoc inside jar is broken in IDEA 8.1.x

Extract downloaded vaadin.zip in folder and specify it as javadoc e.g. /opt/vaadin-6.5/WebContent/docs/api/

Then external javadoc works fine.

OR you can use “old good” ClassFinder:

Here You can find my post about javadocs in IDEA (in Russian):

PPS: Also I recommend to You upgrade IDEA to 8.1.4
