If you change the $dist.dir to a folder outside the project dir: $dist.dir=../global_dist Other projects referencing that project cannot find it's sources with the "goto declaration" anymore. Javadocs are not shown in code completion either. Everything builds and runs perfectly though.
Reassigned to editor/navigation.
I think the problem is somewhere in the java modules. Here is some more information. Assuming there are two projects A and B and the B project depends on A. 1. If the $dist.dir property is changed after the project dependency has been established the B project won't compile. 2. If the $dist.dir property is changed first and then the project dependency is created the compilation works fine, but some of the editor services do not work (eg. code completion, javadoc, navigation), some others work fine (eg. fix imports, syntax & semantic coloring).
Seems as a problem in SourceForBinaryQueryImplementation. Which project type are you using (j2se, web, j2ee)?
I can reproduce it with j2se project, but in my case code completion works, only source and javadoc cannot be found.
The same cause. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 128162 ***
