I have installed J2EE 1.3 + API documentation on my local machine. I generated a new parser DB entery for it (removing the old servlet23 one that was already there) and also enter the <installdir>\doc\api into the Javadoc manager (removing any old conflicting one). But NetBeans will not show me the Javadoc for J2EE methods or classes (namely the servlet class). No matter what I do or what I change the path to, the javadoc window ALWAYS show "Javadoc not found". I have restarted Netbeans and even checked the directory myself to maek sure it was valid javadoc. Not only that, Netbeans complains when you attempt to set it to a location that is not valid (aka without a index or index-all file) and it doesn't complain at all when I set it to this directory.
Unfortunetely, there is no support for retrieving javadoc from mounted javadocs yet. Javadoc is taken from mounted sources because of performance reasons. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 23467 ***
Ohhhhhhhh.... this really should be made more clear someplace, I was going crazy.
Closing.
