Mounting Javadoc Filesystems

To make a file available for search by the Javadoc search engine, you must have the file's source tree mounted in the IDE as a filesystem. Javadoc files in the IDE are managed through the Explorer window. The Javadoc tab lists Javadoc documentation that you have mounted in the IDE or that you have generated in the IDE from mounted sources.

By default, two Javadoc filesystems are mounted and displayed in the Javadoc tab: the ant-api.zip filesystem, which includes the Ant documentation, and the javadoc directory in your installation directory. The Javadoc executor generates documentation in this directory when no other directory is specified. Right-clicking the Javadoc root node opens a menu with items for mounting new Javadoc filesystem in the IDE.

You can configure each mounted filesystem separately, determining whether the filesystem is hidden or displayed in the Explorer, whether it is writable, and and so on.
