It would be nice to have the ability to specify a local web server as my javadoc location for the platform javadocs instead of needing to point at a zip file or local folder.
This option was removed in nb 4.0 since the javadoc module provides features like Search in JavaDoc that perform pretty bad with remote javadoc. Issue #41443 will try to solve this for future releases. Just curious. What is the difference between local web server and local folder as a javadoc location? *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 41443 ***
