How to add JavaFX javadocs to vscode when not using build tools-CodePudding

I would like to add the documentation for JavaFX to vscode so that when I hover over functions it tells me what they do. I have downloaded the Javadocs from the JavaFX website but I don't know what to do with them now. I'm creating my projects without any build tools through vscode. Any help would be appreciated.

Please try adding the following configuration in your setting.json file.

"java.project.referencedLibraries": {
    "include": [
        "lib/**/*.jar",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/*.jar"
    ],
    "sources": {
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.base.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.controls.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.fxml.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.graphics.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.media.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.swing.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.web.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip",
        "%PATH_TO_FX%/lib/javafx.swt.jar": "%PATH_TO_FX%/src.zip"
    }
}

%PATH_TO_FX% is your javafx folder path.

another possible approach

for example, a project like this:

/project
 /lib
  test-1.0.0.jar
 /doc
  test-1.0.0-javadoc.jar

add in your .classPath :

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/test-1.0.0.jar">
  <attributes>
    <attribute name="javadoc_location" value="jar:platform:/resource/project/doc/test-1.0.0-javadoc.jar!/" />
  </attributes>
</classpathentry>
