Where does Eclipse save the javadoc location Path's?

[joerg]

Hello,
I'm looking for the location where Eclipse (3.1) stores the javadoc
location paths
for a project's (3rd party) jars.

The location to the source attachments is in the .classpath file. But
where is
the reference to the javadocs stored?

I did a full-text search on the entire project directory, but couldn't
find anything.

Thank you very much,

Joerg

The javadoc location paths are stored as a workspace property. At:

<workspace-dir>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/

in the file org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs

Unfortunately there's no possibility to associate source attachments
AND javadoc location paths to a certain .jar file on a per-project
basis.

Imagine this: A team of developers uses CVS and a server where the
source code and javadoc of all 3rd party libraries of a project are
stored. There is no simple way to tell eclipse where all the javadoc
and source files are. The location of the sources is in the .classpath
file of the project and can therefore be held in the CVS system.
All developers can use it. But the location of the javadoc
documentation cannot be shared via CVS. Every single developer has to
configure this for himself.
