Hi Milos, Thanks for your answer. It did help some, but it would be nice if you could give me an example.
Say I have a library called jamod.jar v1.2. It is installed in our company maven2 repo as groupId="jamod", artifactId="jamod", Version="1.2" as type="jar". In the directorystructure of my local repository .m2, this will then appear as .m2\repository\jamod\jamod\1.2\jamod-1.2.jar What should the respective source and doc-files be called ? And should they be .JAR or .ZIP-files ? And for the javadoc jar/zip-file, should the index.html be on the root of the zipped file, or should there be a directory called api under which the index.html file should be (inside the zip/jar-file) ? As you might have understood by know, I am a bit new to Maven2, so please bear with me if my questions are a bit newbie. Kind regards Arne -----Original Message----- From: Milos Kleint [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17. april 2007 16:07 To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Javadoc for dependent libraries in Netbeans... hello, download javadoc&sources checks the remote repos for artifacts with -source or -javadoc classifiers and downloads them. The IDE then designates them as containing source/javadoc and they are sued for hyperlinking the sources or for code completion. However unfortunatelly most artifacts in the central repo don't have javadoc or sources on display. I'm not sure about the 2.3 version of mevenide (that one works with 5.5 and later builds) but the 3.0.2 version (that works only with the 6.0 M8+ netbeans builds) has also actions "install local sources" and "install local javadoc" that takes a local zip of sources/javadoc and puts them in the correct place in local repo for you. Does it help? or is the problem somewhere else? Regards Milos On 4/17/07, Styve Arne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm using the mevenide plugin to Netbeans from codehause.
