This sounds like a NetBeans bug. In JDK 10, "element-list" was added to better support modules. So, does NetBeans work with other modern Javadocs?
Maybe there is something subtler: does a library in a JDK 8 project display Javadoc 11-style documentation? --emi On Wed, Nov 27, 2019 at 4:45 PM A S <abhinav.sharma.s...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am only sporadically using Netbeans for some small projects, so my > apologies if the question is too amateurish.
