Not sure if this is true in NB 7.1, but at least in 7.2 dev builds when the "Attach Javadoc..." hyperlink appears in a popup Javadoc window and I click it, the popup is closed but nothing else happens. This is true even when attach sources works for the same classpath item and I know there is both source and Javadoc available, e.g. org.netbeans.api:org-openide-util:RELEASE71:jar.
Confirmed that it works in 7.1, so 7.2 regression only.
I've added logging jet-main 025ee42fbb21. Something like: FINE [org.netbeans.api.java.queries.SourceJavadocAttacher]: Attaching of javadoc to root: jar:file:/Users/tom/Projects/other/lucene-3.3.0/lucene-core-3.0.3.jar!/ handled by: org.netbeans.modules.java.j2seplatform.queries.DefaultSourceJavadocAttacher should be logged when the IDE is started with -J-Dorg.netbeans.api.java.queries.SourceJavadocAttacher.level=FINE option. It works fine for me, but I am on Mac which does not use lightweight pop up menus. If no message is logged the problem is in the UI. Also there was no change in the SJA & dependent classes. Can you try it? Thanks
Generally no message is logged. The popup is closed and nothing else seems to happen, except that focus is lost from the editor (no apparent component focused). Once I managed to get the expected dialog requesting a Javadoc root, and the log showed this. The log also shows when I attach sources. So it does seem to be a problem in the hyperlink rather than SJA itself. This is either JDK 6 or 7, on Ubuntu 11.10.
Seems as some light weigh pop up problem. I will borrow some Linux and test. Thanks Jesse!
Integrated into 'main-golden' Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/025ee42fbb21 User: Tomas Zezula <tzezula@netbeans.org> Log: #206278:"Attach Javadoc..." hyperlink not working
I think this is a more general problem in the popup Javadoc; no hyperlinks seem to work (the popup is closed instead).
javadoc attacher is in java.platform, right?
See comment # 6. Nothing with platform source attacher.
Fixed together with #206779. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 206779 ***
