Javadoc for custom jar

[ThibTrip]

Hello, is it possible to get java doc with tab completion for my own jars? If it is, what do I have to do to make it work? See picture below. Thanks in advance!

Sadly, I can't show you too much about my package since it is private (work/business related...). But here is the "build" part of my POM I use to compile my package. With this there is actually a separate javadoc jar that is created. I tried importing the javadoc jar but that did nothing. I suppose the javadoc should be in the same .jar as the code for this to work?

It looks like there is a bug in JShell and it is able to load only jdk javadocs. What you can get is only the signature of the methods, that's it.

@padreati well spotted 👍 ! Guess we will have to wait.
