Javadoc Attachments

Identifier:
org.eclipse.pde.core.javadoc

Since:
3.2

Description:
This extension point associates plug-ins with the javadoc location of the code they contain. PDE uses these mappings to automatically attach javadoc to plug-in libraries when it computes a plug-in's classpath.

Configuration Markup:

Examples:
The following is an example of the javadoc extension:

 <extension point="org.eclipse.pde.core.javadoc">
     <javadoc path="doc.zip!/references/api/" archive="true">
        <plugin id="com.example.abc"/>
        <plugin id="com.example.def"/>
     </javadoc>
     
     <javadoc path="http://www.sample-url.org/doc/">
        <plugin id="com.example.ghi"/>
     </javadoc>
     
     <javadoc path="doc/">
        <plugin id="com.example.jkl"/>
     </javadoc>     
  </extension>
In this example, the javadoc for two plug-ins: com.example.abc and com.example.def have their javadoc located in a references/api/ directory inside a doc.zip ZIP file in the plug-in declaring this extension. The javadoc for plug-in com.example.ghi is located at http://www.sample-url.org/doc/. The javadoc for plug-in com.example.jkl is located in directory doc relative to the location of the plug-in declaring this extension.

API Information:
