Eclipse Platform Plug-in Development Environment Guide

Javadoc Attachments

Identifier:
org.eclipse.pde.core.javadoc

Since:
3.2

Description:
This extension point associates plug-ins with the javadoc location of the code they contain. PDE uses these mappings to automatically attach javadoc to plug-in libraries when it computes a plug-in's classpath.

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension ( javadoc+)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id    CDATA #IMPLIED

name  CDATA #IMPLIED

>


<!ELEMENT javadoc ( plugin+)>

<!ATTLIST javadoc

path    CDATA #REQUIRED

archive (true | false) "false"

>

  • path - The path is a URL or a path that is relative to the plug-in declaring the extension.
  • archive - an optional attribute indicating if the javadoc is located inside an archive. If not specified, the default is false. This attribute should be used only if the path attribute specifies a relative path. This attribute has no effect if the path attribute specifies a URL.

<!ELEMENT plugin EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST plugin

id CDATA #REQUIRED

>

  • id - the id of the plug-in whose javadoc location is specified by the path attribute

Examples:
The following is an example of the javadoc extension:

 <extension point=
"org.eclipse.pde.core.javadoc"
>
     <javadoc path=
"doc.zip!/references/api/"
 archive=
"true"
>
        <plugin id=
"com.example.abc"
/>
        <plugin id=
"com.example.def"
/>
     </javadoc>
     
     <javadoc path=
"https://www.sample-url.org/doc/"
>
        <plugin id=
"com.example.ghi"
/>
     </javadoc>
     
     <javadoc path=
"doc/"
>
        <plugin id=
"com.example.jkl"
/>
     </javadoc>     
  </extension>

In this example, the javadoc for two plug-ins: com.example.abc and com.example.def have their javadoc located in a references/api/ directory inside a doc.zip ZIP file in the plug-in declaring this extension. The javadoc for plug-in com.example.ghi is located at https://www.sample-url.org/doc/. The javadoc for plug-in com.example.jkl is located in directory doc relative to the location of the plug-in declaring this extension.

Supplied Implementation:
Eclipse SDK comes with ISV documentation plug-ins that use this extension point.
