将Eclipse文档添加到Eclipse Project，导出jar

Question

So I have a Java Project in Eclipse for which I can generate a Jar file. Now I can use this jar file in other projects. However when I add this jar file to other project's build path using eg Eclipse, it does not show any documentation.

It only works, if while generating Jar file, I also separately generate java docs, and on the user side, when I import this jar, I have to separately specify the java docs for this jar.

I just want to know, is there any way that I can export java docs and the project altogether as a single jar, so that when imported in other projects using Eclipse IDE it shows the documentation without having to import the java docs explicitly?

Answer 1

如果在导出jar文件时选择“导出源文件和资源”选项，则应该能够在其他项目中查看文档。

Answer 2

@manish approach and don't work for me. In my case the solution was different. You also try do it in four simple steps:

1. Right click project - Export - Jar File
2. Right click project - Export - JavaDoc
3. Compress JavaDoc folder with 7Zip or similar one. Rename with 'jar' extension.
4. Create folder with both and compress it. Rename with 'jar' extension as well.

Example

/your-library-v1.0.0.jar
  - your-library.jar 
  - your-library-doc.jar

Now you can Import the library (your-library-v1.0.0.jar) and Javadoc will be vailable in your projects.
