I am having trouble getting the steelseries javadoc to work in Netbeans. This is the URL https://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/84552/SteelSeries3/apidocs/index.html but I cannot seem to get it to play ball. Have I missed something obvious?

Thank you

In Tools > Libraries, you can create a new library, set the location of your API documentation in the Javadoc tab and add the library to your project, as shown here.

  • Hi, thanks for your response. That's what I've done in the past, and its worked with Apache POI. However, this particular javadoc doesn't seem to be working. Could it be something to do with it being a dropbox link, or HTTPS? Thanks again! – TheRealJimShady Jan 18 '13 at 11:10
  • I never tried a URL for the `Javadoc` before, but it worked with some limitations: NetBeans defers showing the doc during code completion but opens it correctly in the browser. I didn't try `https`, and I don't use `Dropbox`. Why not just download or generate it locally? – trashgod Jan 18 '13 at 12:26
  • Hi, I tried using the downloaded page but got an error message: "The javadoc root does not contain the package-list file" – TheRealJimShady Jan 18 '13 at 13:22
  • I'd expect the `package-list` to be in the same directory as the `index.html`, but it may have been generated by a custom `doclet`. – trashgod Jan 18 '13 at 13:34
  • what exactly is the package-list? – TheRealJimShady Jan 18 '13 at 14:03
  • Hi guys, thank for all your help... In the end I found the .jar javadoc and that seemed to work, thanks again! – TheRealJimShady Jan 18 '13 at 15:15
