[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.4.2_02 ] When I try to add the Java 1.4.2 javadocs via the Javadoc Manager, I have a lot of trouble. Most critical problem: Choosing a folder of javadocs is not added to list of javadoc roots. Other issues: - Remove button not immediately available (dup of issue 33830?. - Dialog used for finding a folder is a "save as" dialog rather than a "open" dialog. - Have to click on a dimmed out index.html file or add button never highlights. - Choosing a folder never highlights the add button. Workaround: Go to the filesystem and add the folder with the Javadocs in it. Then change the folder's properties to be only documentation. Now go back to the Javadoc Manager. New folder is now shown. (Remove button is still dimmed out.)
What build are you using? Tome, could you look at it on Mac? On w2000 I can reproduce just the issue with the disabled remove button. Everything else works for me.
It works for me too. I did the following: 1) opened Javadoc manager 2) click on 'Add Archive' button 3) select /Library/Java/Home/docs.jar 4) click on 'Mount' button 5) click 'Yes' to add docs.jar to documentation repository anyway. 6) select 'docs' as root offset for docs.jar 7) test javadoc search by using 'View -> Javadoc Index Search' search for JLabel You are right that dialog used for finding a folder is a "save as" dialog.
Tomas, what you did works fine. However, that is not what I was testing. Here are my steps: 1. Open Javadoc Manager 2. Click on the Add Folder button 3. Navigate to /Developer/Documentation/Java/Reference/1.4.2/doc/api/index.html Note - only when I click on the (dimmed out) index.html will the Add button become enabled. 4. Click on Add, which returns me to the Javadoc Manager dialog. The javadocs just added is not in the list. Am I picking the wrong thing to add to the javadocs? Is the Add button supposed to become enabled when I click on a folder? Jan - I am using the official 3.6 Beta (I forgot to append version stuff in the original submission. OS X 10.3.2 Java 1.4.2_03 (Production) NetBeans 3.6 Beta

Added back [36cat] prefix. It is used for some special query.
OK, I think I figured it out. 1. I went to the folder /Developer/Documentation/Java/Reference/1.4.2 and clicked on the directory "doc". 2. At this point, the OK button stays disabled. 3. Type a "d" in the Save As box. 4. The OK button immediately becomes enabled. 5. Type the rest of doc in the Save As box and click OK. 6. Now the new javadoc directory shows up in the list. Bottom line - clicking on the directory does not fill in the save as box, nor enable the OK button. Typing the last node does. (Does it work that way for you Tomas?)
Closing as WONTFIX since the manager is not part of the product any more.
