    Hi,

    I have some third party libraries with Javadoc, and I’ve configured them in the User library with the javadoc locations. However, I’m not getting the javadoc on the code-assist hover actions. I do get it when I hit F1 on a symbol, but was wondering if there was anything special I have to do to enable the hover-javadoc with 3rd party documentation.

    Thanks,

    Mike Cico

    Mike,
    The Javadoc is parsed out of the source attachments, not the actual generated HTML, Netbeans does it the same way. It’s faster/easier to parse it out of the source then try and parse mangled HTML to guess which parts you want based on surrounding styles (that’s why they do that).
