Description pfelenda 2002-05-03 14:16:29 UTC 
[200205030100], last jdk1.4.0

How to reproduce:

- mount jar or directory with classes (without
 sources)
- mount sources for these clases
- type in editor name of class
-> no javadoc completion appeared

Code completion works. But Javadoc completion
don't work.

Workaround : Change order of classes in 
explorer. Sources move before classes.
Comment 1 Martin Roskanin 2002-05-16 15:12:33 UTC 
Problem is described in the following example:
I am searching the javadoc for the method ...

1. JavaDoc.Method (jdMethod) is not null in both cases (classes before sources or 
vice-versa)

if the classes are before the sources :
2.jdMethod.getText() is not null, but the size of the text is 0

if the sources are before the classes :
2.jdMethod.getText() returns the correct text (if it exists of course)

org.openide.src.JavaDoc should obtain the requested info if it is available
Comment 2 Svata Dedic 2002-05-17 08:18:26 UTC 
That depends - how did you obtain the parent MethodElement's parent
(ClassElement) ? Did you do that using ClassElement.forName() ?
Comment 3 Martin Roskanin 2002-05-17 08:29:22 UTC 
Yes Svata I am using this one:
ce = ClassElement.forName(clsFullName);
Is there something wrong? Should I use something else to get proper ClassElement ?
Comment 4 Svata Dedic 2002-05-17 08:33:46 UTC 
OK, then it seems as a bug. The find algorithm in ClassElement should
prefer source objects to classes.

Comment 6 Martin Roskanin 2002-06-20 16:35:46 UTC 
Svata, just another case. It looks quite seriously, because xerces are
mounted by default as a library. Is there any workaround for that as
for xerces (without deleting library of course) I tried to move the
xerces sources FS UP before library and it doesn't solve the problem :-(
Comment 7 Svata Dedic 2002-07-08 16:17:27 UTC 
The ClassElement finder applied to restrictive policy so it did not
admit sources mounted as described here.
