Description gshankman 2004-11-17 16:31:51 UTC

It would be nice to have the ability to specify a 
local web server as my javadoc location for the 
platform javadocs instead of needing to point at 
a zip file or local folder.

Comment 1 Jan Pokorsky 2004-11-23 14:33:39 UTC

This option was removed in nb 4.0 since the javadoc module provides
features like Search in JavaDoc that perform pretty bad with remote
javadoc.

Issue #41443 will try to solve this for future releases.

Just curious. What is the difference between local web server and
local folder as a javadoc location?
