Javadoc Filesystem
The Javadoc tab of the Explorer lists the Javadoc documentation that
is mounted in the IDE or that was generated in the IDE
from mounted sources.
Javadoc Root Node
Right-clicking the Javadoc root node (
) displays a menu with the items described
in the following table.
Menu Item |
Description |
Add Local Directory |
Displays a dialog box in which you can mount Javadoc
documentation from a directory that was created outside the IDE |
Add Archive (JAR, Zip) |
Displays a dialog box in which you can mount Javadoc
documentation from a JAR file or a zip file |
Add HTTP Filesystem |
Displays a dialog box in which you can mount Javadoc
documentation from n HTTP filesystem |
Filesystems Nodes
Right-clicking the root node of a filesystem and choosing Properties displays
the following properties:
- Hidden. If True, does not display this filesystem in the Filesystems tab of the Explorer.
- Read Only. If True, this filesystem cannot be modified.
- Root Directory. For directories only. Specifies the root directory of this filesystem. See Mounting a Filesystem for more information.
- Archive File. For JAR and zip files only. Specifies the JAR or zip file that the filesystem represents.
- URL. For HTTP filesystems only. Specifies a URL that you can type
into an external browser to browse your Javadoc filesystem. For example,
if you set the URL to /javadoc/, you would type http://{my-machine-name}:8082/javadoc/ in the browser.
The Expert tab has the following properties:
- Root Offset. Specifies the directory below the mount point that contains the Javadoc top-level directory. The Javadoc top-level directory contains the index.html file, a directory called index-files that contains multiple index files, or both. When your Javadoc files are in a JAR or zip file, the directory which contains the Javadoc top-level directory
is sometimes buried in the file's hierarchy. In this case, the IDE cannot
correctly search for and display Javadoc files unless the Root Offset property
is set to the directory that contains the Javadoc top-level directory.
- Search Engine. Specifies the default Javadoc search engine. You have two choices: the JDK 1.2/1.3 Search Engine, which is the default value,
and the Japanese JDK 1.2/1.3 Search Engine, which enables you to search internationalized Javadoc documentation.
