I have installed Plugin Development Environment on my Eclipse 3.8 via http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno update site. Now in PDE projects under the "Plugin Dependencies" tree I see that all PDE JARs have attached source set to the same JARs. Yet, the JARs do not contain any sources - only class files.
Because of this I see no Javadoc for PDE/JFace classes and get ugly arg0, arg1, etc for auto-generated code.
Where and how can I get sources or Javadoc for PDE/JFace?
First, I tried to reproduce your problem.
- downloaded Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary from the location you provided
- installed Plugin Development Tools -> Neither source nor Javadocs
Now, the following worked for me:
- Help -> Install new Software
- Work with 'The Eclipse Project Updates' (not the Juno main site!)
- installed 'Eclipse RCP Plugin Developer Resources'
This gave me sources and Javadocs for all the Plugin Dependencies in a newly created 'Hello World' Plugin Project. The size of the Eclipse installation increase by only 10 MB to a total of 116 MB.
Thank you tobias_k,
This works great but further to this I had also to install these resources to get IFolder javadoc for instance :
- Eclipse Platform SDK
- PDE/API Tools Envirnement Descriptions
Which was not installed in my Eclipse distribution. Hope this helps someone !
