Is there a way to attach an external javadoc in vscode using a link to it? For example, intellij idea allows you to do this.

CodePudding user response：

If your Javadoc .jar file is inside your project directory you can add this to your classpath. Just rename everything to fit your needs.

<classpathentry kind="lib" path="lib/avro-1.8.2.jar">
     <attributes>
            <attribute name="javadoc_location" value="jar:platform:/resources/project/doc/avro-1.8.2-javadoc.jar!/" />
     </attributes>
</classpathentry>

CodePudding user response：

You can try the following methods:

For example, I have a project:

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

Add 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>

Library, source and javadoc location

The Classpath.fileReference(Object) 20 method was added to the public API to be able to set custom source and javadoc location for a classpath entry.

import org.gradle.plugins.ide.eclipse.model.Library

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'

eclipse {
    classpath {
        file {
            whenMerged { 
                def lib = entries.find { it.path.contains 'my-commercial-lib.jar'
            }
            lib.javadocPath = fileReference(file('libs/my-commercial-lib-javadoc.jar'))
            lib.sourcePath = fileReference(file('libs/m-commercial-lib-source.jar'))
        }
    }
}
