Description

To reproduce the problem:

• Open an editor window containing a java class using some Swing component
• Have the Javadoc window open
• Place the caret on a Swing type (JPanel, JList, JScrollPane, …)

Sometimes, the Javadoc window keeps showing »Loading Javadoc...« , and it causes an error in the IDE:

… An error occurred during parsing of 'java.desktop/javax/swing/JPanel.java in /opt/local/java/latest15/lib/src.zip' …

I can't say exactly, under which conditions the error appears, it only happens occasionally.

If this happens repeatedly, at some point the Javadoc windows stops working completely.

The 'Java Platform Manager' uses (as created by default) the Javadoc from:
