Description Peter Nabbefeld 2011-03-24 08:59:33 UTC
The javadoc for org.netbeans.spi.server.ServerWizardProvider is incorrect:
The link to WizardDescriptor is
    http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-util/org/openide/WizardDescriptor.InstantiatingIterator.html?is-external=true

It should be
    http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/javadoc/org-openide-dialogs/org/openide/WizardDescriptor.InstantiatingIterator.html?is-external=true

(i.e. the module part of the URL is wrong)
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2011-03-24 18:56:23 UTC
Reproducible, but not fixable in any straightforward way. The problem can arise whenever classes in a (public) package are split between modules, as has happened for some NetBeans APIs with a long history. Can easily be reproduced from the command line using the -link option; Javadoc reads the package-list file and links to the first documentation set listing the target package, even if does not contain the target class.
Comment 2 Peter Nabbefeld 2011-03-25 12:21:20 UTC
Hm, where can I find the doclet's source code?

Filed long ago, in fact.
