Hello,

I am only sporadically using Netbeans for some small projects, so my
apologies if the question is too amateurish. I was previously using
Netbeans 8.2, and the platform I was working with was Java 8.

With a change to JDK 11 for the project, I switched up to Apache Netbeans
11.2. For one of the libraries that I am using for the project, when I try
to add the Javadoc to the library, Netbeans complains because no
package-list exist. I see that the JDK 11 version has an 'element-list' in
the javadoc folder with contents similar to the 'package-list' of JDK 8
version. If I copy the element-list and rename the file to package-list,
Netbeans seems to be able to add the Javadoc. However this only allows the
path to be added as javadoc, and the documentation isn't actually available
when referencing a method in the editor.

My google searches are quit inconclusive on whether there is a way to read
such a Javadoc from Netbeans. Does anyone have a concrete answer on whether
this is possible? If yes, how?

Best regards
Abhinav Sharma
