Description Petr Jiricka 2004-01-09 18:14:44 UTC 
I was expecting that the JDK javadoc will be
mounted automatically in the IDE, but it's not. My
JDK is installed at E:\j2sdk1.4.2_01, the IDE
writes the following as the Java home in the log file:

Java Home             = E:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\jre

My JDK documentation is at
E:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\docs\api\index.html

The IDE does not mount the Javadoc automatically.
Comment 1 Tomas Hurka 2004-03-01 11:06:55 UTC 
JDK javadoc is not mounted automatically and never was. There is no standard way 
how to locate JDK javadoc since it is available as separate download.
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2004-03-01 11:17:04 UTC 
I see. I thought that the normal location for Javadoc is
$JDK_HOME/docs, and that we attempted to mount it somehow. It may be
just me who puts it under $JDK_HOME/docs. BTW, do you have any user
data regarding where users usually put the Javadoc?

[batch] Giving up javadoc issues exclusive ownership.
Comment 4 _ rkubacki 2004-11-22 19:35:28 UTC 
Tomas is wrong. See the duplicate that we made an attempt to locate
the documentation in past.
