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.

Akki's problem also plagued me for much too long. But the fix is super easy.

If you're using Eclipse (Neon), and

If you have Maven (highly recommended) with the Eclipse plugin to handle it, and

If your project is a Maven project (it can be converted into one **),

Then you can easily add Javadocs to all your jar dependencies at once (if you're also using Spring Boot, there may be about 75 of them!) by doing the following:

• Right click on your project (in the Project Explorer),
• Hover over "Maven" to get a submenu, and
• Select "Download JavaDocs".

You should see in the lowest right hand corner a status bar that says "downloading sources and javadocs" and a progress bar.

** To mavenize your project:

• Right click on it in the Project Explorer,
• Hover over "Configure" to get a submenu, and
• Select "Convert to Maven Project".
