The library manager allows you to attach javadoc locations to your (named) libraries. However, while it seems that zipped javadoc is supported here, it doesn't work, at least for zipped files that contains the javadoc in a "sub folder" of the zip file. In addition, it would be helpfull to get an feedback from the IDE if the chosen location is recognized as a javadoc place or not ...
Yes, it would be nice to notify user about it in the manager.
The UI will be changed to let you specify directly the Javadoc api folder, the folder containg index-files folder or index-all.html file. This will be done during the rewrite of Javadoc module to URLs.
The UI notifies user about the wrong Javadoc root.
