I tried to right-click-show-javadoc on SplashScreen but my default browser wasn't able to parse the url: jar:nbinst:///docs/nb_midp_components-api.zip!/org/netbeans/microedition/lcdui/package-summary.html I was able, however, to view the javadoc when I switched to the internal Swing browser in Advanced Options. (But I shouldn't have to do that...) Opening the Library Manager, I notice that the Library Classpaths for the entries under Mobile Libraries are very different from the Library Classpaths for the entries under Class Libraries. 1. NetBeans MIDP Components Library Classpath: jar:nbinst:///docs/nb_midp_components-api.zip!/ 2. proguard Library Classpath: C:\Program Files\netbeans-5.0beta2\mobility7.2\external\proguard.jar I think the Mobile Libraries javadoc links aren't getting normalized the same as the standard Class Libraries javadoc links (which do work in my default system browser).
reassigning. Could you please try it with latest build of Mobility Pack? There was a similar bug fixed in latest builds.
Reassigning to Javadoc module. There should be done some URL transformation or the protocol registration when using external browser. nbinst: is a valid protocol for internal IDE usage.
Extbrowser module should do such transformation.
Fixed in trunk, code reviewed by Petr Pisl. QE, please verify. Thanks.
verified in trunk. nbinst is correctly translated to path
Uh, is this a duplicate of issue #31363 (or vice-versa)? And is there a patch available for review somewhere? (You are supposed to include a CVS commit log at a minimum.)
Created attachment 28224 [details] Sorry about that, here is the patch.
Here is a link to the diff in trunk: http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/extbrowser/src/org/netbeans/modules/extbrowser/URLUtil.java?r1=1.9&r2=1.10 Yes, this does look very related to 31363. Could the approach used to fix nbinst be also used to fix nbdocs?
Also fixed in the release50 branch. Checking in URLUtil.java; /cvs/extbrowser/src/org/netbeans/modules/extbrowser/URLUtil.java,v <-- URLUtil.java new revision: 1.9.44.1; previous revision: 1.9 done
