Javadoc location page
</h1>
<p>
This dialog lets you define the location of the Javadoc documentation for a JAR or a Java project.
</p>
<p>
You can reach this dialog the following ways:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Select a JAR or Java project, open the context menu and select Properties &gt; Javadoc Location or use&nbsp;<strong>Properties</strong> from the <a href=
"ref-menu-file.htm">File menu</a>
</li>
<li>
In the Javadoc generation wizard, on the Standard doclet settings page, choose&nbsp;<strong>Configure</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Javadoc can be attached to JARs or Java projects. For projects it documents the elements of all source folders,
for JARs, elements contained in the JAR are documented. The location is used by
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Open External Javadoc</strong> in the <a href="ref-menu-navigate.htm">Navigate menu</a> to find the Javadoc location of an element
</li>
<li>
Context Help (F1) to point to a Javadoc location
</li>
<li>
<a href="ref-export-javadoc.htm">Javadoc Export Wizard</a> to link to other documentation or as default destination for a project's documentation
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Valid locations are URLs that point to a folder containing the API documentation's&nbsp;<em>index.html</em> and&nbsp;<em>package-list</em> file. Examples are:
</p>
<blockquote>
file:///M:/JAVA/JDK1.2/DOCS/API/<br>
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/
</blockquote>
