Created attachment 159768 [details] properties file and panel I think it might be a good idea if you can set the javadoc overview file path relative more easily. Now you can set it in project.properties relative like this: javadoc.additionalparam=\ -overview ${basedir}/${src.dir}/overview.html but on the "Project Properties" panel -> Build -> Documenting -> Additional Javadoc Options: it is converted to absolute path so you have chance to lose the original format (if you change any letter) :( Thanks: Bela Netbeans parameters: Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.1 (Build 201510222201) Updates: NetBeans IDE is updated to version NetBeans 8.1 Patch 1 Java: 1.8.0_77; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.77-b03 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_77-b03 System: Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64; Cp1250; hu_HU (nb) User directory: C:\Users\Beci\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1 Cache directory: C:\Users\Beci\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\8.1
