How to view Javadoc in Eclipse?

Viewed 36882

I am using a third party library, i have included into my project. It contains classes for the application, but no sources, or Javadoc. As expected, mouse-over imported object shows no javadoc.

Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached 
Javadoc and hence no Javadoc could be found.

After googling for a bit, i came across 3 versions of jars

  1. app.jar
  2. app-sources.jar
  3. app-javadoc.jar

It appears and app-javadoc.jar contains nothing but html pages and app-sources contans nothing but .java files (with Javadoc comments).

What i did:

  • Added all 3 files to the list of "Referenced Libraries". After "refresh"ing the project, javadoc still does not show.

  • Additionally, under properties for the project, i pointed "Javadoc location path" to unzipped content of app-javadoc.jar (validated ok)

Still, after having done all that, my Eclipse fails to display javadoc.

Please advise

Thank you.
