Hello fellow Netbeans users,

In Ubuntu 18 LTS with the Openjdk11 from the Ubuntu repository, I run Netbeans 11 and it works fine, except for the automatically popping-up Javadoc help when we I type  JDK classes and its functions.

Firstly it's strange how I have to add the Javadoc at all. In NB's menu "Tools → Java Platforms" there's a tab "Sources" and "Javadoc".

1) I tried to use the tab "Javadoc" first, and had to add all the folders "javadoc/api/java.*" from an unzipped Javadoc11 bundle. This way some JDK functions show the correct Javadoc pop-up help, however many functions just show an empty space, like for example when in Netbeans I enter:
  BigInteger big;
  big. _

Then the pop-up comes and lists all BigInteger functions but their Javadoc is empty each.

So I tried another approach:

2) From NB's men "Tools → Java Platforms" in the tab "Javadoc" I removed all entries, and used the other tab "Sources", where I added all the "java.*" folders from an unzipped Java11 source bundle (file src.zip).

This way for many more JDK classes and functions their pop-up window works fine, like the mentioned BigInterger one.

However many classes from the java.sql package I can't make to work.
For example I enter in NB:
  java.sql.Statement stat;
  stat. _

Then I get a pop-up listing all functions, but for many there's a message "Javadoc not found" in the pop-up window. Like these functions:
  addBatch(…)
  execute(…)
  executeUpdate(…)
  etc.

For these however the pop-up window shows the correct Javadoc:
  cancel(…)
  close(…)
  executeBatch(…)
  etc.

What am I missing, please? Or do other users have similar problems?
Thanks a lot for any help.
