The Netbeans platform doesn't describes where should be downloaded sources and javadoc. The netbeans sourcese and javadoc be downloaded from: http://www.netbeans.org/downloads/index.html The sources and javadoc should be registered in two forms: - zip distribution - unpacked root folder of distrubution Javadoc for default platfrom should be downloaded from update center. It is located in Developing Netbeans folder.
Thanks for this info! OK, so now I have Javadoc from the Update Center. It is registered automatically in the Javadoc tab of the NetBeans Platform Manager. But I'm not clear why I would want to register the Sources. For debugging? I'm sorry, it's not very clear to me.

As well as to make "Go To Sources" work on NB classes (e.g. TopComponent). i.e. it is similar to have sources for Java Platform. Also javadoc should work if you have only sources and don't have javadoc added (I believe) for a NB platform.

Which folder in the NetBeans Platform sources must I select?
"Which folder in the NetBeans Platform sources must I select?" - the folder containing a subfolder "nbbuild", i.e. the top of the CVS checkout. In the case of a ZIP file, I believe Martin arranged it so that you can just add the ZIP as downloaded from the web site, despite the fact that the real root is the netbeans-src folder inside the ZIP file.
I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded the NetBeans Plaform 5.0 beta Sources (netbeans-5_0-beta-src-platform_sources.zip) from here: http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php Then, in the NetBeans Platform Manager, I went to the Sources tab of my default platform, and selected 'nbbuild', but i couldn't 'Go to Sources' and there was no Javadoc. I also tried the nbbuild's parent directory (netbeans-src), which didn't work either...
Ah... stupid me. Should have downloaded the IDE sources, not the Platform sources...
Martin yestedray commited fix of issue 62773, that enables you to use the downloaded zip with sources. So in today's build you should be able to add to sources only the zip file (no need if extracting and adding dirs.) Go to source works for me fine.
Yes, it works perfectly. I've just installed the latest continuous build. Then attached ZIP file to Sources tab. Go to Soucres works. Javadoc works. Perfect. But, when I unzipped, it didn't work: I removed the ZIP file from the NetBeans Platform Manager, added the 'nbbuild' folder of the unzipped file, but then Go to Sources and Javadoc didn't work. I also tries adding parent of nbbuild, but that didn't work either...
you have to add parent (i.e.netbeans-src), not nbbuild. Works for me even with added unziped dir. Did you set your module dependency on module in which you try search some class?? Try to follow http://qa.netbeans.org/apisupport/promo-f/NBPlatform-testspec.html it should work.
Adding the folder doesn't let me go to sources or Javadoc. But adding the ZIP does work.
Very strange.. file a speparate issue with exact steps to reproduce,assign it to Martin (mkrauskopf)
Fixed the issue about the help topic in trunk. Please verify that it is now complete!
