If you look at the project on package explorer and right click on the jar, click properties and then you can choose the javadoc location.
Personally I don't use it but if you mess about with that it should work.
Edit: too late

Oh... you can attach Javadoc explicitly for a referenced lib if you expand the lib in build settings.
Cool

Missing Javadocs
Following a little thought on some recent CUK threads, I decided to refresh my experience setting up a Java dev box from scratch. I have a clean copy of Eclipse and have downloaded Tomcat, Spring, etc, etc... been putting together build scripts from scratch and so on.
I noticed my referenced JARs are not giving be any Javadoc info in Eclipse, just "Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached Javadoc and hence no Javadoc could be found.". I don't recall seeing this before, I'm used to seeing Javadocs start working as soon as add the JARs to the build path in Eclipse project settings.
Everything else is working fine, I am just hitting a mental block what step I missed. Anyone care to make me feel dumb and tell me what amazingly obvious error I made?Tags: None
