             Summary: Missing code completion and Javadocs in maven projects 
with classifier.
                 Key: NETBEANS-2197
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-2197
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: editor - Completion & Templates
    Affects Versions: 11.0
         Environment: All platforms
            Reporter: Tobias Oelgarte
         Attachments: code-completion-failed.png, code-completion-ok.png

If a maven artifact project uses classifiers, then Netbeans isn't able to 
provide code completion or to display Javadocs.

To avoid duplication, sources and javadocs usually belong to the 'parent' 
artifact, which has no classifier. But the actually used jar archive (the 
library) resides within the artifact with classifier.

A good example for this is JavaFX. The artifact 
[javafx-base|http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/openjfx/javafx-base/11.0.2/] 
is an empty shell and depending on the operating system the platform dependent 
library is used, by utilizing classifiers. In the case of linux this would be 
the _javafx-base-11.0.2-linux.jar_.

Netbeans will not find the corresponding sources or javadoc archives, because 
it looks for {color:#14892c}_javafx-base-11.0.2-linux-sources.jar_{color} and 
{color:#14892c}_javafx-base-11.0.2-linux-javadoc.jar_{color}, but it won't look 
for {color:#f79232}_javafx-base-11.0.2-sources.jar_{color} and 
{color:#f79232}_javafx-base-11.0.2-javadoc.jar_{color}.

As a temporary solution i created symlinks to the existing sources and javadoc 
archives. But this solution also doesn't work as excepted. The sources are 
found, but the Javadocs for a field or method can only be displayed as long all 
parameters and return types belong to the same artifact.
