How to link JavaDoc to different class?

Question

I'm trying to write a javadoc which displays the javadoc from another method, like:

private List<Object> list;

/**
 * {@link list#indexOf(Object)} 
 */
int getMyIndex(Object o) {
   return list.indexOf(o);
}

This would give me a javadoc link when I use my getMyIndex() method. But what I want is that eclipse just actually shows(!) the javadoc from the method that I referenced in @link .

Of course that's not what link is for. Link does what is should do in this case.

But what do I have to use to somehow "import" a foreign javadoc there?

Answer 1

No there isn't any such tag or functionality as far as I know. Refer the javadoc tag list for more details .
