Adding Java docs to Eclipse Project whlie exporting jar

Question

So I have a Java Project in Eclipse for which I can generate a Jar file. Now I can use this jar file in other projects. However when I add this jar file to other project's build path using e.g Eclipse, it does not show any documentation.

It only works, if while generating Jar file, I also separately generate java docs, and on the user side, when I import this jar, I have to separately specify the java docs for this jar.

I just want to know, is there any way that I can export java docs and the project altogether as a single jar, so that when imported in other projects using Eclipse IDE it shows the documentation without having to import the java docs explicitly?

Answer 1

If you select the option "Export source files and resources" while exporting the jar file, you should be able to see the docs in other projects.
