Description Antonin Nebuzelsky 2010-08-10 11:58:39 UTC 
When one open project is added as a dependency of another open project, a background task Download Javadoc (maybe also Download Sources) is triggered and javadoc is being downloaded for the libraries of the project.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2010-08-10 18:11:29 UTC 
I would say this is a feature, not a bug. Without local Javadoc you cannot get documentation in code completion.
Comment 2 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2010-08-12 09:23:58 UTC 
Correct, but the current behavior is inconsistent with the global options for Javadoc/Sources download on project opening (in Options/Misc/Maven) where it defaults to Never.

It should probably use the global setting value also when adding a project A as a dependency of project B and let the user download Javadoc/Sources manually with the action Download Javadoc / Download Sources on project's Dependencies node when Never is chosen in Options.
