API in binary release?

[Steve Vestal <st...@adventiumlabs.com>]

The download page says the distribution includes the API, but I cannot
find a javadoc folder in the jars.  Is there some way to get this short
of standing up a source build myself?

(I'm putting the jars in an Eclipse plugin so Jena is conveniently
available to multiple other plugins, and it is nice for developers to
attach the javadoc API.)

Thanks.

Using maven/gradle/... will make things easier in the long run.


If you do want to use the distribution, the source is available in the 
distribution and if you attach that, the javadoc should be available in 
the IDE (at least, it is in Eclipse).

It is also online:
http://jena.apache.org/documentation/javadoc/

Using Maven/Gradle would fetch sources and Javadoc automatically via
IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc.

If you really want to import the JARs manually, you can get Javadoc from
Maven repo [1]. Indeed, you have to do it for each module, e.g. "core",
"arq", etc. in your classpath
