maybe the answer is easy, but I'm unable to find information about the topic on google.
I've downloaded the MacWidgets Library from http://code.google.com/p/macwidgets/.
On the site you can also find the javadocs and I would like to integrate this into Netbeans to provide me with information about classes / methods while typing like on the normal java api.
Is this somehow possible? Or do I have to download the source, create a project out of it and reference the project instead of the libraries?
I confirmed with the latest NetBeans IDE 7.0 M2 version released on http://www.netbeans.org
They have provided support for URL configuration for the Javadoc.
Steps to use this feature
First create a library for the MacWidgets JAR files using Tools > Libraries dialog box.
For the created library set the URL of the Javadoc using the Javadoc tab and URL button, in this case the URL shall be http://exploding-pixels.com/google_code/javadoc_0.9.5/
Now when any class from this library is referred in the Java code editor NetBeans will show Javadoc in below the context sensitive code completion as well as in the javadoc window if it is open.
This feature is recently added and only available from NetBeans IDE 7.0 M2, release and onwards. This feature is still having some issues and opening Javadoc directly by right clicking the JAR node in the project panel library node does not work yet.
UPDATE (29 Apr 2011)
With the release of latest NetBeans IDE 7.0 the issues related to Javadoc from URL are solved. You can use a HTTP URL to specify Javadoc for third party libraries without any issues now. The issue reported by me about right clicking the JAR node is also fixed by the NetBeans developer team.
Just as an addition, if you are using cut and paste from on-line javadocs, don't forget to remove the index.html as it messes up the url.
Step 1: Go to the /Libraries/.jar
Step 2: Right-click on the particular jar file.
Step 3: 4 options will appear --> select Edit
Step 4: Click on Edit.
Step 5: Browse Javadoc and provide the doc path till API.

How do I configure IntelliJ to access offline documentation (for both Java and Android if possible) without leaving my IDE? I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1. My Android application is building and running fine so my installation seems to be correct. I've examined the relevant SO posts:
How to view JDK external documentation in IntelliJ IDEA?
JDK documentation in IntelliJ IDEA on Mac OS X)
IntelliJ and the android java docs
But either the paths they recommend are not on my machine (the posts are rather dated) or else too vague. Interestingly my /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines folder seems to be empty whether I use Finder or Terminal. My Documentation paths tab under the File | Project Structure menu item is empty.
I should add that I'm attempting to use the Shift+F1 keyboard command when I have a keyword highlighted. That's what is recommended, but nothing happens. Below are pics of my current documentation paths in the Project Structure dialog. All done according to recommendations as far as I can see, but maybe someone can spot something.
I think configuring the path to src.zip should be enough, IntelliJ will retrieve the Javadoc from the source files. In Modules Settings, in the SDKs panel choose your current SDK, go to the Sourcepath tab and make sure there's an entry for src.zip.
On OSX it's located under
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_10.jdk/Contents/Home/src.zip
or
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/src.zip
depending on which SDK you have and how you installed it.
For the Android doc, I guess you can do the same if they provide a zip containing all the source files.
Command + ; open Project Structure
on left panel select SDKs
in Sourcepath tab click +, select your src.zip
I am developing for a project, and sometimes I encounter some codes that I would like to read the documentations about. But I am having "Javadoc not found" in my tooltip,and attaching javadocs in my netbeans. Also there is this online api documentation (Online Java EE API Docs) but sometimes its a bit tedious for checking it everytime, is there a way that i can integrate it somehow in my netbeans?
I tried the Attach Javadoc... button below, but nothing seem to work.
Also, if you have a link where i can download a .jar of java-ee-apidocs, thanks.
I already tried downloaded Java EE 6 Update 2 Javadocs, are there updated versions for Java EE7? Thanks!
Method 1:
Go to Tools > servers > select_your_server > Javadoc
Click Add Zip/Folder
Browse for javadocee6.zip
Press Close
or
Method 2:
go to libraries > properties > select a jar > edit > browse for javadocee6.zip >done!
I use WildFly server and it has the Javadoc tab but adding it there didnt work.
I had to right click "javaee-web-api-8.0.1.jar" on my maven project dependencies tree, then choose 'Add local Javadoc' and point to the file I downloaded from https://javadoc.io/doc/javax/javaee-web-api/latest/index.html to make it work.
I'm using a Gradle built Java EE Web Application.
Under the project's Configurations->default[runtimeElements] there's the javaee-api:8.0.1. If I right-click that, I have the option to "Download Javadoc". Once I do that, I see the JavaDoc descriptions in the tooltip.
There's also a "Show Javadoc" option that will render a web page with the full Java EE API.
I have a problem with Eclipse Indigo regarding library source code. When I open a library class (e.g. from the JDK, but also from some other included libraries, such as Guava), either using the Open Type dialogue or simply through Ctrl+ click on the class name or some of its methods, once in a while (not always) something breaks.
Don't get me wrong, the source is always displayed without any problem (either JDK source shipped with the JDK itself or Guava source downloaded by Maven). What actually stops to work:
When I open the Quick Outline popup in that given class using Ctrl + O, the list of methods and fields displays normally, but when I click on any of them, Eclipse doesn't move the view on it as it should. Also Ctrl + clicking any of the methods or fields of that class in my code doesn't bring me directly to it, but simply at the top of the source file.
When I hover over that said class or its methods, no JavaDoc appears in the popup as you can see in the attached image. I am in the HashSet class, the source is clearly there, but it isn't displayed in the popup.
I found out that this can be fixed by opening the Outline View and briefly clicking through the class's methods and fields. After a few clicks, Eclipse catches on and starts to work correctly, but only for this one class, not for all which are broken in this way at the moment.
Has anybody met this kind of bug? Is it tracked at Eclipse Bugzilla? Thanks in advance for any advice.
For completeness, this is my configuration:
Windows 7 Professional x64
Oracle JDK 1.7 Update 2 32b
Eclipse Indigo for Java EE Developers 32b
your issue #2 may be resolved by following these steps :
Go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp and choose to
download the JDK 5.0 Source Code.
For JDK 5.0, select Download(SCSL source).
Download JDK (SCSL) 5.0 (1.5.0). This will give you a file jdk-1_5_0-src.scsl.zip. You do not need to unzip this file; Eclipse likes it the way it is.
In Eclipse, go to Projects -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries and expand JRE System Library [jre 1.5.0], then rt.jar. Select Source attachment and click Edit...
Select the above zip file. and Finish by exiting the dialog boxes.
source
Hope this helps..
Sounds like wrong sources are attached to the libs inside Eclipse.
I had similar symptoms in a project where a class exist in both: inside a lib and in the project's src folder. Same canonical class name, but different implementations.
I would recommend to verify (or reinstall) your JDK-Installation and re-configurating it in Eclipse.
Hitting Ctrl+Shift+T and typing HashSet and taking a screenshot of that window may help here, too.
To answer my own question, I didn't find out how to solve the problem in Indigo, but updating to Juno fixed it.
I have a Java Web Services project that was created in an older version of NetBeans, and I haven't accessed it in many months, so my paths and installed libraries are different.
When I try to open the project, I get a "Resolve Reference Problems" dialog, and two Reference Problems are listed:
"metro" library could not be found
"JAX-WS-ENDORSED" library could not be found
I have a fresh installation of JDK 6 Update 25 with NetBeans 7.0, and am running Windows 7.
What steps can I take to solve this? I don't even know where to start, as every approach I've taken so far hasn't gotten me anywhere.
Note: JAX-WS-ENDORSED does not appear in my Libraries listing, so I can't remove it. Something hidden is referencing it. How would I find this?
I just came across this issue and found some help from http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187145. Apparently, Netbeans will create the JAX-WS-ENDORSED library when a new web service is created. So go to File > New File, choose Web Service > Web Service Client and fill in dummy values (this can be done in a throwaway project). This client can then be removed, and Netbeans will have created the library with the following classpath entries:
java/modules/ext/jaxws22/api/jaxws-api.jar
ide/modules/ext/jaxb/api/jaxb-api.jar
These are relative to your Netbeans install directory (on OS X will be located in Contents/Resources/Netbeans within the .app). Alternatively, you could create the library manually using the entries above.
This only needs to be done once, as the library will be added to Netbeans Global Libraries list.
The best solution is to edit project.properties file and replace below piece of code.
Original property: endorsed.classpath=\${libs.JAX-WS-ENDORSED.classpath}
Replace with: endorsed.classpath=\${lib.JAX-WS 2.2.classpath}
In older versions of Netbeans there is JAX-WS-ENDORSED library in libs location.
Newer versions of Netbeans having JAX-WS 2.2 library in lib folder
** ALL THE BEST **
If it is still needed, I had the same situation when opened a netbeans 6.9 project in netbeans 7. There is no way to resolve the 'jaxb-endorsed' (in my case was jaxb and not jaxws) reference using the libraries window.
I found a endorsed.classpath property in the nbproject/project.properties file.
I still not sure what is its purpose, but in this property I found the bad reference to jaxb-endorsed.classpath, so I deleted, closed netbeans and opened again, and the reference problem has gone.
I already have Jaxb 2.2 library added to my project, so it is working good with the modification I did to the project.properties.
I hope it helps.
I had a similar problem : DO NOT DELETE THE JAX-WS-ENDORSED - remind me to downvote. I had to go to the imported project > resolve reference
problems dialogue > delete the references from there which were pointing to the old NB folders - pic :
and then create the throwaway web service as suggested by William Scott and then add the newly created jars :
Netbeans maintains a set of libraries, which are simply a convenient way to manage groups of related jar files. Start by clicking Tools > Libraries. You will see the library manager window.
You will see the options to add your own libraries if you have jar files downloaded. If you do not see the library that you are looking for you can download them and add them your self. Once the library exist in Netbeans you can go to the Project Explorer window and right click on the Libraries tab of your project. Select Add Library and you will have the chance to add the library that you added in the library manager.
You may want to right click on your project, go to properties -> Libraries.
Remove the JAX-WS-ENDORSED library, and try using JAX-WS 2.2
Also remove metro and try adding METRO 2.0
That may solve your problem.
You may also want to right-click on your web service references and select
Edit Web Service Attributes
Then on wsimport Options tab see if xendorsed is set to true.
UPDATE
You may need to close netbeans and then open it again, and it may work. I was having a problem similar and I just did that and it worked.
The only difference, and it may not be needed, is that I also added the JAXB 2.2 library, but that was because I was trying to solve a compilation error.
I had same problem and Fix it by install soap webservice and and resful webservice in netbeans plugin
I fix it:
unistall netbeans.
delete HOME/.netbeans and HOME/.nbi
then install netbeans again
Old thread, different and effective solution... I just moved some projects from one system to another and got this error. With NetBeans v7.3+, go to Tools>Plugins, Available Plugins, then search for "SOAP". You should see "SOAP Web Services". On loading this library you'll get the JAX-WS-ENDORSED library. Restart NetBeans and you should be able to get a Clean Build.
Loading this package brings in a number of other libraries. On restarting the IDE you may get a notification that other packages now have available updates.
Do the following ( BTW in my case its NetBeans 6.9.1 )
1 Why this appeared now ?
Because i tried to open project on other pc with fresh copy of net bean
2 How the problem looks like ?
Jar Lib Not Found for JAX-WS-ENDORSED
3 Why it was needed at the first place and what its used for?
Well i have a webservice on same server/domain e.g localhost , so of course
it will work if i removed the web service from the folder in sources but i need it
4 What to do?
Try to add dummy any online free web service in form wsdl
like Some test web service or search for any other one
This is the source of my public free to use wsdl
5 What then ?
Just add it please
Now what ?
Wait for scanning project stuff it should be ok
you can re check from library properties of project
or see that there is no red/ or resolve references problem
in project properties
So what happened exactly?
Note: JAX-WS-ENDORSED it will be added automatically to your libraries
same methodology can solve other problems as well
How can I add JavaDoc or other document to netbeans ?
I try with this way :
Tools >> Java Platform >> JavaDoc Tab >> JavaDoc.zip (in my desktop)
but in editor when I press Ctrl+Space in tooltiptext this message shown :
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.
I tried restarting NetBeans but this was the result:
try this in NetBeans IDE
Choose Tools > Java Platform Manager from the main window.
Select the platform to which you want to add Javadoc in the left panel of the dialog box.
In the Javadoc tab, click Add ZIP/Folder and specify the location of the Javadoc files.
Click Close.
Hope this helps.
If you are using maven in your project then follow below steps to attach Java docs for your attached libraries.
Right click on "Dependencies" folder of your project.
Then choose "Download javadoc" option
It will download javadoc of your libraries and attached it.
Now when you will press ctl + space then you will see docs for that library.
and If you want to add javadoc for particular library then follow the options as suggested by Himanshu Soni.
You can't usually just add the javadoc zip as a separate library (at least this hasn't worked for me in the past.) In the libraries section you need to select the library you want to add the Javadoc for and then add the Javadoc jar for that specific library.
Restart Netbeans then that should work. Though of course if there really is no Javadoc for that method you still won't get any (I've fallen into that trap a couple of times before!)
You followed the very right procedure, I've been threw this right before I write this answer, and as for this is the first result that shows up when you Google the problem, I think that many people will find it handy and save their time, the solutions is:
UNZIP the JavaDoc.zip file that you are referring to ( which is supposed to be jdk-7u4-apidocs.zip for JavaSE 7 docs) and repeat the same procedure, which is Tools --> Java Platforms --> Javadoc ( tab ) then press " Add Zip/Folder, and point to the unzipped folder instead of the zipped one, restart NetBeans, and it will work smooth and direct.
You should download the docs file from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/java-se-7-doc-download-435117.html
After completing the described operation, you will have your javadocs available offline, and you don't need to be connected to the internet to know about APIs.
Best regards brother.
"Tools >> Java Platform >> JavaDoc Tab >> JavaDoc.zip"
The problem with above step can be solved easily by moving down following two path already added in content panel as shown below.
Step 1-
Goto: Tools >> Java Platform >> JavaDoc Tab
and Add ZIP/Folder you want to add.
Step 2-
Step 3-
That's all and if zip file doesn't works the extract first and then add it.
I had the same problem, and I solved it by removing all URLs and adding only the apidocs.zip downloaded from oracle. After that restart your NetBeans.
Before test whether it works be sure the method you are looking for actually exists within the apidocs. Open index.html and make a search for that particular package.class.method you need.
If it doesn't work, try to manually copy the apidoc.zip to the docs directory of netBeans:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\docs and then retry.
this help me:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqJavaDoc#Adding_the_JDK_Javadoc_to_the_NetBeans_IDE
try it, maybe help
Using a Maven project inside of Netbeans v8.02.
First, view your project via the Projects window;
Expand your project's Dependencies folder
Right-click the desired *.jar file
Click download javadoc
Done!
This worked for me, I manually copy the apidoc.zip to the docs directory of netBeans: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\docs and then restart my netbeans.
