NetBeans javadoc hotkey

Hi all, I realize this is probably lame question but I can't find it on the google and directly in NetBeans on my own. Can anyone tell me how can I set hotkey for generating javadoc ? I'm writing a project documentation and I run it so often that it's kind of iritating to always right click on project and generate javadoc .. :(

options -> keymap
unfold "project"
There you will find "generate javadoc".
Be honest: you cannot have been searching for more than a minute. The keymap button is too obvious.

How install JavaDoc for Netbeans IDE help!?

Hi All,
I apologise in advance if I'm being stupid here. - All I want is to download the JDK 5.0 API reference as a .jar so that NetBeans can show me the information I need as I'm developing.
The netbeans Javadoc section wants me to point it to a .jar but I've searched the Sun website for bl**dy ages now and I can't find it. I've downloaded the documentation but its all just in .html format, - no good for inline Netbeans help!
Thanks

Use the following instructions (plagarized from NB's Help documentation) and point to the /docs/api/ directory location. No jar involved.
Adding the JDK Javadoc to the IDE
Choose Tools > Java Platform Manager from the main window.
Select the platform to which you want to add Javadoc in the left panel of the dialog box.
In the Javadoc tab, click Add ZIP/Folder and specify the location of the Javadoc files.
Click Close.

Netbeans 4.1 and creation of javadoc failure. Also no api docs...

Hi people.
I recently downloaded and installed Netbeans 4.1 over Netbeans 4.1 early access 1 and I got the two following problems that I didn't have before (the older version worked flawlessly):
1: I cannot create the javadoc html files from the sources of the project. The IDE reports: javadoc: error - Illegal package name: "${javadoc.additionalparam}"
tries to load the source tree and then reports:
ProjectName\nbproject\build-impl.xml:344: Javadoc returned 1
2: The IDE cannot find the Java 1.5 SDK documentation that was correctly installed in the folder docs of the Java 1.5 SDK and that worked flawlessly with the previous version of Netbeans that I had installed. I tried to import path names in Library Manager and Java Platform Manager, but no luck there either.
Any ideas that could help the situation?
Thanks all of you in advance!

I would suggest that your problems are due to the way you installed.
Remove and reinstall a clean copy.
No problems with either item for me in 1.4 final.

"Show Javadoc" not working in NetBeans 6.7 // JDK 1.6 on Mac OS 10.5

Hi,
I searched many sites (including forums.sun.com: see e.g. http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=753501)
-- still I cannot find a solution that would work for me.
Here is a full description - hopefully somebody has solved it on Mac and will help me...
1) To reproduce, I select anything (say String) in NetBeans, ^-click and select "Show Javadoc": the result is a tiny gray message "*Cannot perform Show Javadoc here*".
2) I have a Mac and Netbeans 6.7.1, installed java 1.6, it (seems to me) came without docs:

It is really frustrating.
Please help!

scphan,
thanks a lot for your reply! It is helpful! (although not "solved" - alas).
The thing still doesn't work: maybe I missed some magic trick?
If you bear with me, here is what I did:
a) downloaded jdk-6u10-docs.zip
(from "Java SE Development Kit Documentation 6"
-->
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter)
-- it was unzipped automatically by my Safari downloader, creating the "docs" directory);
b) then I pointed the Netnbeans to this dir (it says "Add ZIP/Folder", so to my understanding the "dir" should work, only faster), --
-- still "Show Javadoc" results in "Cannot perform"... (:-.
Anything I did terribly wrong?
Note that I stared at the http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp for a while before finding the "documentation" link.
Noticeable also that the page starts with "What Java Do I Need?" but doesn't answer that question.
Why does Sun make it so freaking hard for the beginners?..
Does it make sence to ship something without documentation?..
Why doesn't Apple distribution include it for 1.6 although it does for 1.5 and 1.4?..
Why do creators of Java not care that Java actually works out of the box, -- including (and that I think makes my question a Java question) in one of the two most popular Java IDEs?
(The last few sentences are mostly for flounder).

Can you generate/make a javadoc in netbeans?

I'm using netbeans for a project, and i cant figure out how to make a javadoc and is there any way to generate one. I was using the free version of jbuilder and there wasnt a way to generate one unless i had the higher version. My school provided an executable that will generate a html file that includes all of the classes/methods and headers, just to make an html file that all you had to do is add the descriptions of the methods and headers. My professor had no idea how to make the executable copy everything back into the jbuilder source directory. I'm using os x now, so no more jbuilder, i would like to know how to generate or even just make and edit a javadoc inside netbeans.
thanks.

Check the Build menu, and the Help information on "Working with Javadoc Documentation"

Viewing javadoc in external browser (NetBeans)

OK, so i know this question is awfully specific, but I haven't been able to google myself out of it.
I've downloaded and installed NetBeans v. 6.7.1 on Windows 7. When i ctrl + space identifiers and the javadoc popup appears, the button for browsing the javadoc in an external browser (in my case, Firefox) is dimmed. My solution to this problem used to be to go Tools -> Java Platforms, and just add the javadocs zip-file under the Javadoc tab of the JDK. Does not work here!
Any help appreciated...

Yeah, there's a problem with the combination of 6.7.1 and Java 7 javadocs. Java 6 docs work for me. I posted to the NB Users forum a week ago, but no response. Here's the post. Add to it and bump it, maybe someone has more info.
[http://www.nabble.com/NB-6.7.1-Javadoc-Index-Search-not-working-w-JDK-7b67-Javadoc-to24882301.html#a24882301]
What you describe I also see.

How to use system JavaDoc in NetBeans ?

Please bear with me here - I don't yet know enough to be sure of what I'm asking...
I'm using Sun Java 1.6 via NetBeans 6.5 under Ubuntu 9.04.
I want to see context sensitive documentation when editing source files, and the mechanism appears to be there but not the data, viz:
If I enter the class-name 'System.' into the source, I get a pop-up list of methods and a documentation box. the pop-up list appears to be OK, but the documention box always says
"javadoc not found. Either javadoc documentation for this item does not exist or you have not added specified javadoc in the Java Platform Manager
or the Library Manager".
I've looked at the Java Platform Manager and it currently contains a 'javadoc' tab with 'usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/docs'.
Any ideas ???

JAVADOC Problem in Netbeans 5.0

JAVADOC won't work in Netbeans 5.0 when i try to add it in the Library Manager, Platform Manager. But it works well in JCREATOR. Why is that?

Don't add Javadoc to the Library Manager or Platform Manager in Netbeans. That's not what they're for. I don't what Library Manager or Platform Manager mean in JCreator, but Netbeans isn't JCreator.
Netbeans handles javadoc by default when you create a project and allow Netbeans to create the build.xml ant script. To add javadoc capability to a free form project (existing ant script), do the following. In the project.xml file in the nbproject folder, look for where the "build" action is. Add a new action like the following:
<action name="javadoc">
    <script>nbproject/ide-javadoc.xml</script>
    <target>ide-javadoc</target>
</action>Then create the ide-javadoc.xml file in the nbproject folder. It could look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="Custom-IDE" basedir=".">
    <target name="ide-javadoc">
        <javadoc destdir="../javadoc">
            <fileset dir="../src" includes="**/*.java"/>
        </javadoc>
    </target>
</project>Finally, within the IDE, check the project properties, build and run. Make sure the generate javadoc task is associated with the ide-javadoc ant task.
After all that, the Netbeans generate javadocs command will be available just as it is when Netbeans creates the Ant script.

JAI Javadoc + Netbeans

Hi! Does anybody know which packages to install and how to install JAI (java advanced imaging) documentation on Netbeans?
The idea is to have the information about the methods while programming on Netbeans, as it happens with standard JAVA.
Thanks

I try to install the JAI in NetBeans IDE 6.7.1 putting the zip file http://download.java.net/media/jai/builds/release/1_1_3/jai-1_1-mr-doc.zip in netbeans to Tools -> Java Platforms -> Javadoc (separator) -> Add Zip and it doesn't work :(
please help!!

Getting Javadoc hints in Netbeans on Mac OS X

I've been trying to get Javadoc hints in NetBeans (6) on Mac OS X, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I keep getting "javadoc not found" messages.
Does anyone know the proper path to set in the Java Platforms manager's Javadoc tab? I've tried downloading new documentation from Sun and pointing to the api folder, but that didn't work either.
Thanks.

Follow the instructions in NetBeans' Help. If that doesn't work, you need to ask at a site that supports NetBeans - these forums provide Java language support, not IDE support.

Javadoc and NetBeans

How can i get the javadoc comments of J2ME to work in netbeans?
i.e. display them like the J2SE javadoc comments

found the solution
had to add all the .jars, individually to the classpath that were contained in the:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0\mobility8\WTK2.5.2\lib
directory.
