Hi all,
it does not look uncommon, when writing a library that has external
dependencies, to include links to these dependencies' objects into the
javadocs.
The critical point for creation of links to external objects is a
'package-list' file that describes the external dependency.
It is no problem to get everything working if internet connection is
always available. In that case the javadoc plugin can just follow the
links provided by 'links' / 'link' / 'url' elements, and it does that
perfectly.
Meanwhile the only approach that allowed me to get 'offlineLinks'
working was to download a 'package-list' for each external dependency
individually and to point to that local 'package-list' copy via
'offlineLinks' / 'offlineLink' / 'location' element.
This does not look really handy, as requires manual operations with
'package-list' files, placing them somewhere in the project, and all
that with 'package-list' files already available in the local repository
inside relevant javadoc bundles for the dependencies.
Hope there should be some approach available to avoid explicit dealing
with 'package-list' files and to use what is available already.
Can anyone recommend the right approach please?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Sergey Ushakov
