Thomas Zimmermann commented on NETBEANS-2197:
---------------------------------------------
Turns out there were many reasons this didn't work: NetBeans didn't look at the
*-linux-javadoc.jar at all, the visible Javadoc was generated from the source
jar. Even if NetBeans _had_ looked at the javadoc jar, it would not have
understood the new HTML5 Javadoc format. I [opened a
PR|https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1548] to fix this and and some other
issues around JavaFX support, feel free to take a look.
> 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
> Priority: Major
> Labels: maven, usability
> Attachments: code-completion-failed.png, code-completion-ok.png

> If a maven artifact 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 artifactÂ
> [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.
