Hi all,

I am currently struggling with how to properly link the javadocs of our 
plug-ins (org.eclipse.draw2d.doc.isv and org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv) agains those 
of the platform (i.e. org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv) and I thought I could find 
help here.

Currently, we have a javadoc.options file within each of our doc.isv plug-ins, 
which contain link statements of the form:

-link http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/
-link 
http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/

That seems to work in principle, but of course has the disadvantage that it 
links our javadocs to an outdated platform javadoc (namely that of the last 
release). I would rather like to link it to the current platform documentation 
instead, i.e. 4.2 for the Juno. Unfortunately no Juno help pages seem to be 
online yet.

When linking from org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv to org.eclipse.draw2d.doc.isv, I 
further have the problem that there is no Javadoc for Draw2d contained on 
help.eclipse.org/indigo currently, so I may not even link to an outdated 
version (we had problems in producing javadoc with the old build system, so 
javadoc was not published properly for the indigo releases) and will have to 
wait for the help.eclipse.org/juno being first populated.

How is that usually handled? Is the help.eclipse.org/Juno populated initially 
before the final release? Is there a way to provide a stable URL to point to 
the eclipse help of the latest release in such cases?

Cheers,
Alexander
