I am writing a plug-in for Java in Eclipse that utilizes the Eclipse DOM classes. I would like to see Javadocs for these classes but I am unable to do so. For example, when I request javadocs for the method recordModifications() in class org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.CompilationUnit, I get a message that says:
The documentation location for 'recordModifications()' has not been configured. For elements from libraries specify the Javadoc location URL on the properties page of the parent JAR ('/Applications/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.6.1.v_A68_R36x.jar').
However, when I go to the properities for the JAR, it says:
Javadoc location. The current class path entry belongs to container 'Plug-in Dependencies' which does not allow user modifications to Javadoc locations on its entires.
Any advice?

Accessing the Javadoc from NetbeansSelect the desired package, class or method name, right-click and select Show Javadoc. This will launch your default web browser and navigate to the Javadoc for the selected item.
From the main menu, select Tools | Generate JavaDoc. In the dialog that opens, select a scope — a set of files or directories for which you want to generate the reference, and set the output directory where the generated documentation will be placed.
I think what you should do is install the eclipse sources.
do it by Help->Install new software...-> select Eclipse project updates update site. select eclipse plugin developer resources.
the sources suppose to be there.
from the sources you will be able to see also javadocs.
