After adding javadoc documentation via Tools-->Java Platform Manager the javadoc works in .java files, but not in the JSP editor. I guess that installing a J2EE platform in the platform manager, and putting the javadoc there would solve the problem. IMHO downloading and installing the J2EE platform only to get javadoc in JSP editor should not be mandatory. There should be a way to associate javadoc to the web sources. Thanks
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
