Description

« Hide

latest Plugin doesn't attach javadoc jar in the Eclipse Classpath. This is caused by a copy/paste of the chek-file-exists block that doesn't use the "jdocs" variable.

It would be great also to try downloading the javadocs when no sources jar is available : for example, the Oracle JDBC driver is closed-source but has javadoc that can be deployed in a corporate repository and be available to all corporate developpers.

Sory for bad diagnostic, I was reading a modified plugin.jelly, not the SVN one.

According to plugin code, this is an expected behaviour as Eclipse before 3.2 doesn't support MAVEN_REPO classpath variable for javadoc attachement.

Maybe a property could make use of javadocs jars optional ? Maybe an eclipse version property could be usefull for other goals in this plugin, and could enable javadocs attachement / download ?

It seems there not a better support for classpath variables for javadoc in Eclipse 3.2

This patch enables javadocs downloading when sources are not available. javadoc jar is added to .classpath using an absolute path due to lack of support for MAVEN_REPO classpath variable in Eclipse. As this classpath file can easily be re-created, I don't think this is a good reason for blocking this functionnality.

Patch contains code + doc improvement

This is fixed, thanks but:

The patch was not on the latest version of SVN so it was a bit difficult to apply ; please rebuild from SVN and test your projects
The copy paste of code was not really nice so I introduced an abstract class with common codes.
