Showing javadocs to Oxygen SDK-API in an IDE

[jakubsimek]

Hi,

Is there a way of integrating the Javadocs of the Oxygen SDK-API to be shown in an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ?

I watched a Youtube video from one of your presentations ("Workshop: oXygen Plugins Development presented by Alex Jitianu at oXygen Users Meetup", https://youtu.be/23YSwgxyX-c) and I found it great how all the Javadocs of the classes and methods of your SDK were shown while typing the code in Eclipse.

If I understand it right the Javadocs are not included in the JARs which are downloaded while using the Maven dependencies of the SDK.

It would be very helpful while learning the API to have the Javadocs integrated in the IDE. Is it somehow possible to achieve this with the Oxygen SDK-API?

Many thanks in advance,
Jakub Šimek

Hello,

We bundle both the SDK source code and the Javadoc as Maven artifacts published in the Maven repository. Please make sure that Eclipse is configured to download them by looking into Preferences:

and I see that IntelliJ has similar options too.

Best regards,
Alex

It works perfectly, thank your very much for the hint!

Does anyone know if VS-Code supports this capability, either built-in or through an extension?
