<title>Javadocs</title> | |
<para>The details of all the public APIs for UIMA are contained in the API Javadocs. These are located in the docs/api | |
directory; the top level to open in your browser is called <ulink url="api/index.html"/>.</para> | |
<para>Eclipse supports the ability to attach the Javadocs to your project. The Javadoc should already be attached | |
to the <literal>uimaj-examples</literal> project, if you followed the setup instructions in <olink | |
targetdoc="&uima_docs_overview;" targetptr="ugr.ovv.eclipse_setup.example_code"/>. To attach | |
Javadocs to your own Eclipse project, use the following instructions.</para> | |
<note><para>As an alternative, you can add the UIMA source to the UIMA binary distribution; if you | |
do this you not only will have the Javadocs automatically available (you can skip the following | |
setup), you will have the ability to step through the UIMA framework code while debugging. | |
To add the source, follow the instructions as described in the setup chapter: | |
<olink targetdoc="&uima_docs_overview;" targetptr="ugr.ovv.eclipse_setup.adding_source"/>.</para></note> | |
<para>To add the Javadocs, open a project which is referring to the UIMA APIs in its class path, and open the project properties. Then pick | |
Java Build Path. Pick the "Libraries" tab and select one of the UIMA library entries (if you don't have, for | |
instance, uima-core.jar in this list, it's unlikely your code will compile). Each library entry has a small "+" | |
sign on its left - click that to expand the view to see the Javadoc location. If you highlight that and press edit - you | |
can add a reference to the Javadocs, in the following dialog: | |

</imageobject> | |
<textobject><phrase>Screenshot of attaching Javadoc to source in Eclipse</phrase></textobject> | |
</mediaobject> | |
</screenshot></para> | |
<para>Once you do this, Eclipse can show you Javadocs for UIMA APIs as you work. To see the Javadoc for a UIMA API, you | |
can hover over the API class or method, or select it and press shift-F2, or use the menu Navigate → | |
Open External Javadoc, or open the Javadoc view (Window → Show View → Other | |
→ Java → Javadoc).</para> | |
<para>In a similar manner, you can attach the source for the UIMA framework, if you download the source | |
distribution. The source corresponding to particular | |
releases is available from the Apache UIMA web site (<ulink url="http://uima.apache.org"/>) on the | |
downloads page.</para> | |
<section id="ugr.ref.javadocs.libraries"> | |
<title>Using named Eclipse User Libraries</title> | |
<para>You can also create a named "user library" in Eclipse containing the UIMA Jars, and attach the Javadocs (or | |
optionally, the sources); this named library is saved in the Eclipse workspace. Once created, it can be | |
added to the classpath of newly created Eclipse projects.</para> | |
<para>Use the menu option Project → Properties | |
→ Java Build Path, and then pick the Libraries tab, and click the Add Library button. Then select | |
User Libraries, click "Next", and pick the library you created for the UIMA Jars.</para> | |
<para>To create this library in the workspace, | |
use the same menu picks as above, but after you select the User Libraries and click "Next", you can click the "New Library..." | |
button to define your new library. You use the "Add Jars" button and multi-select all the Jars in the lib directory | |
of the UIMA binary distribution. Then you add the Javadoc attachment for each Jar. The path to use is | |
file:/ -- insert the path to your install of UIMA -- /docs/api. After you do this for the first Jar, you can | |
copy this string to the clipboard and paste it into the rest of the Jars.</para> | |
