Can sbteclipse attach javadocs to an eclipse project?

Open crocket opened this issue 12 years ago • 6 comments

"eclipse with-source=true" doesn't attach javadocs.

Can you make a command line option "with-javadoc=true"?

No. That's unnecessary, because Eclipse uses the sources to show JavaDoc.

When I press Shift+F2("Navigate -> Open attached javadoc" in the menu) against a jar file or a class, eclipse says there is no javadoc attached.

I want to open relevant portions of any javadoc in a separate web browser with Shift+F2, and that requires a proper javadoc jar file attached.

The sources may be enough for "tooltips", but not for displaying javadocs in a web browser.

Being able to open javadocs in a separate web browser is a huge productivity boost.

Without Shift+F2, I'd have to find the relevant javadoc web pages from the internet or extract the web pages from the javadoc jar files.

Can you reopen this issue?

Give where the plugin is today, I don't think it would be terribly difficult to implement this, but it might suffer from the same issue as #161

If I have some spare moments this month, I'll see what I can do, since this would help me as well.

Would love to see this get in.

Me too. I see this has been merged; when do you anticipate having an updated release that includes it?
