Description

In the examples below, I'm using the JavaFX sample project for NetBeans defined in the Non-Modular Ant directory of the openjfx/samples repository.

Expand the Javadoc and Sources for the JavaFX Linux SDK as explained in the parent issue of this subtask.

Create the JAVAFX13 Global Library.

Add each of the Sources directories to the library.

Add each of the Javadoc directories to the library.

Add the JAVAFX13 Global Library to the project's Compile Classpath.

Open the Main.java file and select the show() method. The full documentation is not shown in the Javadoc window; only the method signature is displayed there. The toolbar button to show the documentation in an external Web browser is enabled and works correctly, opening the page directly to the appropriate method.

Click the right-most toolbar button in the Javadoc Window to "Open source in editor." The editor opens to the correct method location but shows a file full of compilation errors.
