eclipse-compatible javadoc for window tester

[Andrei.Pozolotin]

Hello:

can you please post a link to the normal/standard, "eclipse-compatible javadoc for window tester"
wich can be attached to swingRuntime.jar, so I can see javadoc inside eclipse
w/o the need to go on the web all the time?

eclipse can not use this:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/tools ... mmary.html

thank you

Andrei

Eric, hi

I am sure you think this is important, right?

Sorry, we do have support for that. Will put it on our feature requests list.

keertip:

thanks for getting back!

ideally we need 2 things

1) normal javadoc (not embedded), like most of sun api web sites;

2) automatic inclusion of javadoc (or just link) in the ecliplse plugin itself;
so there is no need to set it up manually;

thank you

Andrei

Any progress on this feature request? We're all accustomed to hovering over a method and getting javadocs when using Eclipse. Having to move back and forth between the IDE and the API reference web pages adds a significant amount of friction to my workflow. This decreases developer productivity, and I know you are passionate about increasing developer productivity.

Can feel your pain! But sorry, no updates on this issue.

I'm not sure if this is what the OP was looking for, but this workaround solves my problems:

In Eclipse (Helios):

1. In the Package Explorer view, open the WindowTester Runtime library node.
2. Open the Properties dialog for commonRuntime.jar (select it, then Alt+Enter).
3. Open the Javadoc Location properties page.
4. Select Javadoc in archive and also External file.
5. For Archive path, browse to (precise name depends on Windows Tester version):
<eclipse install dir>\plugins\com.windowtester.eclipse.help_6.0.0.r36x201009141344\doc.zip.
6. For Path within archive, browse to html/reference/javadoc.
7. Press the Validate... button to make sure everything is OK.
8. Press OK.

Now the javadoc is integrated into Eclipse.

Update: You should repeat these steps for swingRuntime.jar, too.
