Hi all, I am trying the latest beta and I noticed that it is unable to properly configure the Javadoc URLs of the Java platforms. I am on Ubuntu 18.04 with OpenJDK 11.0.7 installed trough the OS packages (openjdk-11-jdk package), I also have OpenJDK 8u252 (openjdk-8-jdk package). In the Java Platform Manager dialog for the JDK 11 platform I have in the Javadoc tab a folder '/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/docs' instead of a 'http://docs.oracle.com/javase/...' URL as in the previous versions of NetBeans. Adding the JDK8 platform results in a similar behaviour with an autoconfigured /docs folder instead of the typical URL. This appear to be a regression respect to NetBeans 11.3. The out of the box experience is not great, especially for newbies, as documentation tooltips in the editor are not available, even for common java.lang classes.
Can anyone confirm? Could it depend on the fact that I have the OS packages? Has javadoc autoconfiguration for newly added platform changed in recent commits? Regards -- *Alessandro Falappa*
