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
