Eclipse code completion exclusively based on javadocs


Is it possible?

I'm developing for a application server that in runtime give me access to some specific classes. I also have the javadocs related to those jars.

Importing all the deployed jar into Eclipse would be much harder than getting auto-completion working exclusively from javadocs.


Solution

  • No, it's not possible. You'll need the binary jars in the eclipse build path to be able to compile your source code.
