Crystal Reports Eclipse JavaDoc?

[Former Member]

Installed the Crystal Reports plugin for Eclipse via Eclipse Update Manager successfully.

No JavaDocs, so went to website and could only find: SDK Developer Library XI 3.0 related downloadable javadocs, but it appears some of the classes in the Eclipse version are not in those JavaDocs.

Ideally I think the plugin should have an option to download the JavaDocs too, as makes API work harder without them!

The API docs should be installed with the plugin - do you see it in Eclipse Help?

Quick response!

If I go in Eclipse to: Help -> Help Contents I can see 2 crystal report entries, being:

1. Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

2. Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide

If I press F2 over a method I see no proper JavaDoc info e.g. hovering over the following codeL

CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();

viewer.refresh();

boldviewer.setReportSource(reportSource);bold

Gives:

boldvoid com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.ReportServerControl.setReportSource(Object arg0)

throws ReportSDKExceptionBasebold

All I am trying to do is run a report which connects to a DB, later will run a report which sucks in XML data (list in the data) and displays in a JSP page.

Thanks in advance!
