Description Jesse Glick 2002-06-04 22:26:07 UTC 
I ran (external) Javadoc on some sources and got
warnings like this from the 1.4.0 standard doclet:

/space/src/ds/src/org/netbeans/api/ds/DataObject.java:295:
warning - Tag @link: can't find
handleCreateFromTemplate in
org.netbeans.api.ds.DataObject
/space/src/ds/src/org/netbeans/api/ds/DataObject.java:225:
warning - Tag @link: reference not found:
Node#getHandle
[etc.]

Surely these could be hyperlinked in the Output
Window to help you correct the problems. Should be
able to double-click to jump to the correct source
file and line, and "Tag @link: reference..."
should be displayed in the status bar, and ideally
an annotation in the source editor just as for
compilation errors.

API improvement in issue #15920 should simplify implementation.
