How to solve “This element has no attached source and the Javadoc could not be found in the attached Javadoc”?

Question

I don\'t get the exact method to do this. I want a method not for a single project for all projects in eclipse. Please tell me how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

This is for a jar on your classpath in Eclipse, where you have

1. attached a javadoc zip which Eclipse for some reason dislikes.

2. NOT attached a valid source jar.

The easiest way is to right-click the jar in question (in the referenced jars, not the physical jar) and choose Preferences -> Javadoc. Here give a correct location (zip/URL) to the correct javadoc. Remember to use the "Validate" button to ensure that it is correctly set up.
