The shortcut for this action is Shift+F1 but it is always grayed out even though I have pointed JDK documentation path to the docs folder (the docs folder is unzipped from jdk-7u2-apidocs.zip ).
Thanks
You need to specify the docs/api subdirectory of the unpacked documentation or use https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/ URL for the external documentation feature to work.
File -> Project Structure... then here :
I'm using 10.5.4. It was unclear to me from the docs or from resources online that you need to add this at Project Structure > SDK's > (Choose your SDK) > Documentation Paths > Specify URL.
For IntelliJ Idea:
Call "Project Structure" (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S), go to "Platform Setting - SDKs", choose "Documentation Path" tab on the right, then add url of JavaDoc (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/) to your project
You can add the external Javadocs API link as shown below:
Go to File > Project Structure...
Then select SDKs (under Platform Settings)
Go to Documentation Paths tab
Select Specify URL button and add the link for JDK 11 API docs (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/)
I understand the question as follows:
You would like to see javadocs of classes that are not within JDK. I am a bit uncertain because CrazyCoder's reply is talking about JDK specific javadocs.
I am using Macos 10.8.4 and Intellij 11.1.5
The project I am working on is a mvn based project with many modules which have complex dependencies.
Let me take a concrete example to explain what I did, I am sure it can be reproduced for others: apache sshd
I downloaded the javadoc from maven central stored it stored it somewhere. In intellij I went to the module settings (shortcut F4) and the to Libraries in the sidebar. Maven pulls all dependencies automagically and I can find sshd there. The right side then shows Classes, Sources and JavaDocs. The JavaDocs part in my case had a path linked in that pointed to my local m2 directory. However the directory did not contain the javadoc jar file. So I thought how do I get it:
mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
Taken from here
However this failed for because we do not have some javadocs in our nexus (I guess, not sure).
So I ended up linking the file that I downloaded manually in as a javadoc link and this then allown me to use Shift+F1 for the javadoc to open in my standard browser.
Maybe others can elaborate on how to get this done with mvn. I did not have the time to further investigate.
Posting this here in case you're like me and don't necessarily want javadocs, but rather the documentation inside your IDE.
In my situation, I had downloaded OpenJDK 11 and wasn't able to get documentation inside IntelliJ. Instead I was getting decompiled code.
What helped me was the answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/38413439
i.e.
Go to File > Project Structure > SDKs > Sourcepath > '+' on the right side.
Navigate to your JDK (I'm on Ubuntu so it was located under /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-11/).
Select the src.zip (for me, /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-11/lib/src.zip).
Click OK > OK (to "Choose Roots" pop-up) > OK (to Project Structure)
Let Intellij index and it should be available in your IDE.
Java 10 Documentation path
Got to File -> Project Structure Choose External URL
Below Link works Fine... THe default one does'nt work
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/10/docs/api/
Other answers are satisfying but in case you still can't see the documentation, make sure that your java file is located under the src path.

I am having issues with IntelliJ - it shows me a "decompiled" version of the class instead of its source code if I ctrl+click the class.
This is what I see:
I am trying to open regular JDK source files.
The most relevant issue I found is explained here: Java sources replaced by decompiled files in Intellij
The most detailed answer I've found so far is there as well.
Yet it doesn't work for me:
Bytecode Viewer plugin is off.
Java Bytecode Decompiler plugin is off.
Platform, Project and Module all have same JDK version setup.
I have two JDKs available in IntelliJ: jdk1.8.0_161 and jbsdk8u112b287.2_windows_x86 (bundled with IntelliJ, but comes without src.zip). Tried with both (had to specify src.zip of jdk1.8.0_161 for jbsdk8u112b287.2_windows_x86) - no luck
src.zip is not corrupt - I can open it via WinRAR
When added jdk1.8.0_161 to IntelliJ, it automatically found src.zip. When manually adding src.zip to jbsdk8u112b287.2_windows_x86 Sourcepath tab - it started "Scanning for roots", but warned me that it "cannot determine what kind of files the chosen items contain" and offered me to "attach them as 'Sources'" so I agreed.
Tried File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... - same result.
Same issue in 2017.3 and fresh 2018.1 versions of IntelliJ.
Providing path for Documentation makes IntelliJ look for the documentation in the path specified. So it works as it should for both of JDKs. But not for sources.
Everything else works/compiles properly.
My settings:
1. Get the source files
Make sure you have downloaded and installed the source files of the JDK.
I'm on Arch Linux and installed them with pacman -S openjdk8-src which put a src.zip into /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk/. We'll use that zip file in the next step.
To list source packages of different JDK versions, do pacman -Ss "openjdk.*-src".
See this question on how to get the source files for your specific platform.
2. Point IntelliJ to the source files
In your module settings (open them with F4) under "Platform Settings" → "SDKs" → "Sourcepath", add the zip file containing the JDK source to your project JDK (be sure to pick the right JDK if IntelliJ lists more than one JDK) using the button with the plus sign:
3. Jump into the source
Select a JDK class, like Comparator, using IntelliJ's Search Everywhere or Ctrl+b with the cursor on the name of the class.
I also have the same problem. The problem for my case is that Project SDK is set to 13 [Invalid]. After I can Project SDK to a valid SDK. My problem is solved.
I tried all the things mentioned at other places for this but at the end I was doing a silly mistake. Intellij was pointing to JDK 11 for which there was no source code (I had both the SDKs 8 & 11). I removed JDK 11 and pointed to JDK 8. JDK had the source code, thus now I can see the source code on ctrl click. Also, I had disabled the bytecode viewer and decompiler plugins. Hope this helps some one.
This also happens for large files - IDEA decides to decompile them instead if indexing sources, which can take ages.
If you're willing to accept the drawdown, adding the following in Help | Edit Custom Properties might fix the problem:
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=4096
On ubuntu there was java version “OpenJDK” when I changed to “Oracle Java”, the error went away and javadoc returned
I meet same problem and finally it gone after I copy JDK to another folder and change config in IntelliJ. I think maybe cause there is a space in path before, because it is installed under "Program Files" folder.
For downloading the source code of class files belong to jar you can use download source option present on top right corner in the de-compiled class file.
On my Windows 10, expand maven:
For me going to File -> Project Structure -> Project -> SDK -> Add SDK -> Download JDK and selecting Oracle OpenJDK solved the problem. Prior to that I had a different JDK selected and apparently it didn't include source code
If you are in a maven project make sure in the project structure all the complied folders are in the excluded section.
I suggest to use Linux Instead of windows. It's easy to find and download Java.
If you are using Linux, you can download SDKMAN
Install Java by SDKMAN
# find version
$ sdk list java
# download
$ sdk install java x.y.z-amzn
ctrl+alt+shift+s add JDK
Switch project JDK
If you are using maven , Right click on Project explorer -> choose Maven -> chick on "reload projects"
This did the trick for me:
Make sure you select the option "Project Files" (instead e.g. "Project").
I have a Scala Play project. I'm using Play 2.2.1. I downloaded Scala, Play 2 supported and SBT plugins. Everything is OK, but When I call route on Action in the Controller appear following error(Look screenshots):
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 12.1.6 Ultimate version. Scala version 2.10.2
Anybody know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Edit
When I generate my project to Intellij IDEA via "play idea" command in play console, and I opened project in IDEA project structure was such:
Then I saw answer #millhouse and discussing on this githup([Play 2.2] "play idea" creates not working source mapping in target) and I removed following folders from Sources Folders:
target\scala-2.10\src_managed\main\controllers
target\scala-2.10\src_managed\main\views
and "Report highlighting error" disappeared, but now there is another error:
and
my route:
And I've changed "Sources Folders" as shown below:
But it doesn't help me. And remains "Unspecified value parametrs" error.
millhouse's answer helped me find the right answer. Play 2.2 (and perhaps earlier versions, haven't checked) output a scala version of the routes file to project_dir/target/scala-2.10/src_managed/main So for IntelliJ to get the highlighting right you need to make sure that src_managed/main is added as a source folder. The reverse routes for javascript are for some reason included in project_dir/target/scala-2.10/classes_managed so you'll have to add that as well. (In your screenshot it looks like classes_managed is set to excluded so you'll want to un-exclude it by pressing the x button on the right hand side.)
Here's a screen shot of my project structure:
Update:
In Play 2.3 (or perhaps recent versions of IntelliJ) adding the classes_managed no longer fixes the problem. Instead of adding classes_managed to the project's sources add it to it's dependencies. By doing that IntelliJ should be able to pick up the compiled routes.class.
This is a common problem, it's because IntelliJ needs to be shown where to look for the compiled Scala templates and routes file. Here's how I fixed it on my IntelliJ 12.1 installation:
Go to the Module Settings for your project in IntelliJ (select the top-level, hit F4)
Choose the Modules item in the Project Structure window that appears
Select the projectname item (as opposed to the projectname-build item)
Add the compiler's output directory to the Source Folders items;
For Scala 2.10 it's target/scala-2.10/classes
I personally find the IntelliJ UI for this to be very non-intuitive; you might need to take the target directory and/or one of its subdirectories out of the Excluded Folders first
After applying that change, IntelliJ should see the results of compiling each routes and .scala.html file as just-another source file, so they won't show as "broken" and auto-complete should work for them.
I'm working with intellij idea but I can't see the java source files in the project tree. I see the packages, I can open it, but the class files are not displayed. Any idea? This has worked until a few days ago...
Under the intelliJ IDEA 14.0.3 community edition, upon launch I don't see my project folders. I found by going into
View > Tool Windows > Project
seems to show the folder structure.. Same as ALT + 1
Below the menubar , on the left there is a dropdown which in your case may be showing "packages" now (because you can see the packages). From the same dropdown, select "Project Files" below "SCOPES"
You need to check out the project correctly if you are checking out from SVN repo or you must not have selected correct project folder.
You can also configure your project from File->Project Structure check your Source folder is excluded or not.
Also Alt+1 will give you project structure of files in tree format
Check in "Project Structure" (ctrl+alt+shift+S) if you didn't set your source as "Excluded" (in Modules, sources).
If you are develop a maven project, you could run mvn idea:idea and then open the project in your Intellij, the source files and the project tree would become the shape you like.
When using Alt-Insert to insert a dependency into the POM, the Artifact Search is always completely blank regardless of what I search for.
I tried to add repo1 to Settings->Maven->Repository Services, it says "no repository found." I find that hard to believe.
I've also tried to "update" my local repository but that results in an error.
FYI I'm using Community Edition Snapshot.
Thanks!
If you have a brand new IntelliJ install and have never updated your Maven Repository, notice that there is a little "Update" button to the right that becomes clickable when you click on each repository.
Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven >
Repositories
The important one is the https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/ remote repository, make sure you update it.
I used Artifactory to generate a settings.xml for me, and by default it pointed me to the "libs-releases" repository.
Instead want my "releases" repository to point to the much larger virtual repository "remote-repos."
All it took was a simple change to the options of the "Generate Settings" function.
Weird. The Artifact Search is working fine for me with IntelliJ Community Edition, at least for artifacts from the central repo that has been indexed:
And as you can see above, all repositories declared in POMs known by IntelliJ are listed.
There might be something wrong with your Maven settings. This is a wild guess but is your Maven home directory properly defined? Same for the user settings file? Is Maven actually working fine under IntelliJ?
Solved - by reinstalling Intellij Idea
Search for class tab in Maven Artifact Search popup was always empty
Solution in linux:
remove idea folder (for me it was ~/idea-YOUR_VERSION_HERE)
remove ~/.IntelliJIdeaYOUR_VERSION_HERE folder (settings)
download new version form jetbrains.com, unzip, run installer from bin
It appears to be a blocked port, as I am using my own artifactory repository. Of course, the port it is using looks to be completely undocumented, but WireShark shows it to be 58754. Sounds random, I hope it isn't!
Is there an easy way to tell Netbeans (6.9) what page to open when I "run" my Maven Enterprise project? It opens a totally wrong context path. I guess there are some options I can specify on the Project Properties | Actions page -> "Run project" action, I just can't find it anywhere as documentation seems to be nonexistent for Netbeans...
you are running into http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176096. I haven't found a fix for it yet.
Did you specified relative url in Project properties / run?
