Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply.I just checked, you are right, the compiled jar contains the source code as well. I am using IntelliJ IDEA, and just figured out that, its not picking the source from the compiled jar (weired, don't know why). So, what I am doing now is, I made a separate jar with the sources that I have build using the ant target "build-sources". and then adding that jar into my local repo.
The javadoc is ok, IntelliJ IDEA is picking it from source code. Thanks. Jahid On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 1:06 AM, Bob Schellink <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > On 18/05/2010 07:29, Md.
