Root Offset Property Editor

The root offset specifies the directory below the mount point that contains the Javadoc top-level directory. To open the Root Offset property editor, open the Javadoc tab of the Explorer, right-click the root node of a filesystem, and choose Properties. In the Properties window, click the value for the Root Directory property and then click the ellipsis (...) button.

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.
