This plugin offers a convenient way to reference Javadoc API pages. It is particularly useful when creating Java technical documentation to reference the classes being used.

Given a class name (and a method name) and a site reference, a link is automatically generated to the corresponding Javadoc API page.

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

• Updated date (version) in plugin.info.txt

• Updated default Javadoc URL to Java 8

• Updated plugin information
• Updated javadoc icon
• Added configuration
• Updated JDK Javadoc base URL

Surround a Java class name with <javadoc> and </javadoc> tags to create a Javadoc URL. The plugin generates a link referring to the Javadoc URL of the class. The link text is the class name and is displayed as code.

<javadoc>java.lang.String</javadoc>

It's also possible to refer to a class element such as a method. Use the Javadoc @link syntax to do so.

Attention: This currently does not work for methods with more than one parameter.

<javadoc>java.lang.String#concat(java.lang.String)</javadoc>

Use a vertical bar to specify a custom link text:

<javadoc>java.lang.String#concat(java.lang.String)|concat()</javadoc>

Include a site identifier in the opening tag to refer to a custom Javadoc base URL. Up to five site identifiers can be configured:

<javadoc jeda>ch.jeda.Program</javadoc>

The default Javadoc base URL can be configured. The configuration value must be a valid JDK Javadoc base URL.

Also, up to five custom Javadoc base URLs can be configured. The configuration value must be a valid Javadoc base URL. Optionally, a custom site identifier may be prepended to the URL. Site identifier and URL must be separated by a space:
