I've been seeing all kinds of questions on how to add javadoc to all the popular IDE's but when I try any of those there is still no result. So there must be something wrong with the way I have created the javadoc file/folder.

I've tried adding javadoc to Intellij project like this: Attaching additional javadoc in Intellij IDEA

My javadoc.jar looks like this: files in the javadoc

I extracted these files from the source files of the library I'm trying to use. Is there something missing in the file that isn't allowing Intellij to see the javadoc?

    What exactly do you mean by "there is still no result"? Javadoc is the generated output form [javadoc tool](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/tech/index-jsp-135444.html) packaged into a jar archive. You attach it to a library in [library dialog](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/configure-library-dialog.html). Note that in case of Maven/Gradle IDE takes the sources/javadoc from the maven repo just as the compiled library classes. – Andrey May 17 '18 at 12:47
  • @Andrey I mean that Intellij doesn't show any documentation when I hover over the classes or functions (I have the option turned on to show them when hovered over). I have used the javadoc tool to extract the documentation. As a result I got a folder containing the files. It looks like the one I have linked in my original question. I placed them all in a jar file and added them through the library dialog. – Marko May 17 '18 at 16:22
  • Can you provide this library and the javadoc? – Andrey May 18 '18 at 03:52
  • Do you see the javadoc if you select a class/method and use Ctrl-Q ? – Mayoares May 18 '18 at 12:03
