Dave, When you use the Restlet JARs as Eclipse plugins, you don't see the Javadocs/sources and can't specify manually their location. However, if you import them as raw JAR libraries, then you are able to associate a source directory and a Javadocs location.
After investigation, it is possible to automatically specify this info for binary plugins by addind a "source" plugin in Eclipse. This plugin contains the sources and the location of the Javadocs. In beta 21, I will automatically generate this "org.restlet.source" plugins and make it contain all the sources and Javadocs. I will also rename "lib" to "plugins" and remove "src" and "docs" to prevent content duplication. As a result, usage of Restlets with Eclipse will be simplified: - copy the "plugins" directory into "%ECLIPSE_HOME%/plugins" - create a new plugin for your application - declare the plugin dependencies (org.restlet, com.noelios.restlet, etc.) - then directly import the Restlet classes in your source code - SHIFT+F2 will display the Javadoc of the selected class/method in a browser (internal or external) - F3 will display the source of the selected class/method - hovering over a class will display the Javadoc description as a bubble help As for Netbeans, there must be a way to achieve a similar result. If someone has the time to investigate it, that would be useful.
