Re: Where's java 1.4.2 documentation?

Actually, I don't think that comment about having to reinstall 1.4.2 is in the Release Notes. It's in the Readme file. But yes, you do need to reinstall 1.4.2 Development SDK after installing Xcode 1.2. I don't recall if it had any effect on the documentation or not, but you definitely do need to reinstall the 1.4.2 Development SDK (and the documentation is part of that installation). If you don't have it on your machine still, it's a 50M download from ADC <http://connect.apple.com/>.

Just an aside, I have to say that the fact that Xcode 1.2 requires a reinstallation of the Java Development environment speaks (to me at least) of the second class nature that Java has to the Xcode team. I mean, they couldn't even take the time to fix whatever it was that blew away parts of 1.4.2? They just put an entry in the Readme file about it. That's, well, kind of sloppy, no? I'm very much looking forward to the day when Xcode will more fully support Java. But honestly, I'm not sure at this point that it ever will, which would be a shame because I really like the environment and the potential it shows.

Hi list,

No matter what I do I can't get the Java 1.4.2 documentation installed correctly. I think the last update to Xcode broke it. Any documentation out there on how to fix it?

I don't know how to fix it - I seem to have a problem too as I see that the link to the API from local page file:///Developer/Documentation/Java/Reference/1.4.2/appledoc/api/ index.html doesn't work on my Mac after installing Xcode 1.2



The Xcode 1.2 release notes state that if you want the Java 1.4.2 documentation, you must reinstall the Java 1.4.2 developer package and unpack the documentation the same way as before.

That's not true. All it says is

By default there is limited access to Java API through the "Quick API" search facility or through Option double-clicking a symbol in a code editor, since most of the Java documentation is shipped in a jar archive and so is not indexed. To make the documentation accessible, run this command in a Terminal window:
sudo /Developer/Documentation/Java/scripts/unjarJavaDocumentation.sh


This script extracts the documentation from the jar archive and runs /Developer/Tools/pbhelpindexer on the resulting HTML files to index them.

I've done that and it does nothing. I looked at the supplied script and it only works with Java 1.4.1. And that part is commented out.
