My 1st Contribution to NetBeans API Javadoc!
For a very long time, Jaroslav Tulach has been asking me to add links to documentation (blogs as well as tutorials) to the NetBeans API Javadoc. I always said I would do so but then ended up being too scared—it seemed strange to add additonal Javadoc comments to code that someone else had written and I thought that somehow the build would break if I did so. (And I was also concerned that the documentation in question might be wrong or misleading, while the fact that it was linked from the Javadoc might imply that it was somehow official.)
A few days ago I promised to do so again, but this time we were in a pub and he recorded me making the promise that I would add two links the next day. So there was no way back and so two days ago I finally did it:
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/55ff702a6ccd
And today you can see the result:
So, now you can expect to see a lot more cross references from NetBeans API Javadoc to various bits of documentation that should be helpful when implementing the API in question!
