Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.3 (Build 201302132200) Java: 1.7.0_21; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.21-b01 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_21-b11 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1252; en_CA (nb) User directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\7.3 Cache directory: C:\Users\Gili\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\7.3 1. Enter the following Javadoc statement: "@see com.foo.bar" where "com.foo.bar" is a package and com.foo.bar.package-info.java exists. 2. Run the "Generate Javadoc" task. 3. Notice that the Javadoc links to the package Javadoc properly. 4. Open the same file in Netbeans' built-in Javadoc viewer. 5. Notice that the built-in viewer renders the link as plain text (no link). Expected behavior: built-in viewer should render a link like the official Javadoc generator does.
I think this is implemented in java->navigation. Please reassign if I'm wrong, thanks!
There are several Javadoc views: The java/navigation contains the context sensitive Javadoc window but it works fine as seen on attached screenshot. The second one is the view in Search Javadoc Indexes which is a part of Javadoc module but I was not able to get it work :-(

Report from old NetBeans version. Due to code changes since it was reported likely not reproducible now. Feel free to reopen if happens in 8.0.2 or 8.1.
