Netbeans-Friendly Javadocs

#1

Is there a .jar or URL that I can use to get javadocs that work within Netbeans code prediction popup boxes?

I tried attaching the URL: https://www.objectdb.com/api/java/jpa/EntityManager to the EntityManager object in Netbeans but it gives me the error:

Javadoc not found. Either Javadoc documentation for this item does not exist or you have not added specified Javadoc in the Java Platform Manager or the Library Manager.

#2

You can use the api-javadoc.zip file that is included in the ObjectDB distribution (in the doc directory).

It works when adding it through Tools > Java Platforms > JDK ... > Javadoc > Add ZIP/Folder...

although there may be a better place to add this documentation to NetBeans.

I had an issue where the javadocs were still not working after repeating the above process. I fixed it by exiting Netbeans and going back in again.

It would probably be a lot easier if I could just import a secondary .jar file to go along with objectdb.jar - similar to how most other 3rd party plug-ins work...
