Javadoc in Eclipse Failing to Recognize Packages

Javadoc in Eclipse failing to recognize packages

This Works in Eclipse for me:

1. Project --> generate Javadoc
2. Go to "Configure Javadoc arguments."
3. in VM options add "-bootclasspath /path/to/sdk/platforms/android-##/android.jar"

How to solve an issue Eclipse not showing Javadocs for javax.annotation package in webapp-javaee7 archetype Maven project?

I have found the solution for this issue among comments on this post. The solution is on project basis:

• select particular project
• go to Project -> Properties -> Java Build Path -> Order and Export
• reorder libraries until the javadocs appear.

For me it worked to place JRE System Library on top of Endorsed Libraries. Which means that Eclipse is pulling javadocs from libraries in order specified by this tab. And because all javadocs for annotations in question are defined in javadocs placed in proper directory of jdk installation (on this tab annotated as JRE System Library) now they are shown as expected inside Eclipse.

Javadoc for Android project in Eclipse fails with NullPointerException

I had the same error. By selecting different parts of the project in the wizard the error would sometimes trigger and sometimes not.

Anyway, before that error there's a lot of "package android.* does not exist" warnings, so I decided to get rid of these first. Here's the workaround that worked for me.

Now, with these warning messages gone, the NullPointerException disappeared too! I was able to generate javadoc for the entire project, including links to referenced library projects, 3rd party library jars and Android framework classes.

Android Studio fails to read packages while generating JavaDoc

After reading here I could finally apply the workaround. Make sure you give the path till your android-jar in the "Other command line arguments" field viz:

    -bootclasspath D:\android-studio-.3.2\sdk\platforms\android-19\android.jar

do not forget to add "-bootclasspath".
