Using NetBeans 11.1 on Windows.
I have a strange behaviour with displaying Javadoc help for methods from the
JDK.
The code completion (Ctrl-Space) displays the little Javadoc popup and so does
the JavaDoc window (Window -> IDE Tools -> JavaDoc Documentation) when I open
it.
But Alt-F1 ("Show Javadoc") for that exact same method (where the Javadoc popup
is displayed) only gives an "Cannot perform Show Javadoc here" message in the
status line.
Shift-F1 ("Search Javadoc") also finds the relevant entry, and doubleclicking
on it opens the default browser with the JDK documentation.
This is with a Maven project using OpenJDK 11 with self generated JavaDocs.
It seems that "Alt-F1" (or choosing "Show Javadoc" from the context menu in the
editor) uses a different way to find the Javadoc than all the other methods.
Is it possible that my self-generated Javadoc is missing something that "Show
Javadoc" needs, but the other methods don't?
This is how I generate the Javadoc index from the source of OpenJDK:
javadoc -quiet -d docs -Xdoclint:none --expand-requires all
--module-source-path src --module java.se
Do I need to specify a different "starting module"? Or is there a better way to
generate the Javadoc for OpenJDK?
The usual panacea "start with a clean userdir" did not change this.
