Does anyone know: 01 how to include javadoc packages' documentation in susehelp search (cf /usr/share/javadoc/)? 02 if there a better way to read javadoc docs?
Better than using your favorite web browser? I do most of my Java program code editing using jEdit, and it has modules that can facilitate access to JavaDoc HTML, if I recall.
03 (optional) why there no man or info page for javadoc
Because the software comes from Sun and is part of the Java SDK which has its own documentation suite, mainly in HTML.
04 what suse 9.3 app/prog can be used in place of javac?
SuSE 9.3 includes gcj, which is the Gnu Compiler system front-end and libraries for Java. It is incomplete w.r.t. to the full set of Java libraries and standard extensions. To experiment with it, install these packages libgcj-3.3.5-5 libgcj-devel-3.3.5-5 SuSE 9.3 also includes Jikes, the pedantic compiler from IBM: jikes-1.22-3
The rest of this is potentially relevant I thought might help:
On the last question, these urls describe javac: http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html
This does not describe javac, it describes the Ant task that invokes the Java compiler.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/javac.html
Note the SuSE 9.3 includes both the 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 SDKs.
"man java" says see also "javac(1)", but i can't find any reference or package that provides it via "yast2 sw_single".
I have the following, apparently related "ant" packages installed: ...
It's not clear to me what you're after, but you might find better feedback on SuSE-Programming-E
