How to use a generic type parameter in a Javadoc link?

generics, javadoc

Solution

I found the answer. This works:

@see #setHideOn(HasStyle, Device)

Problem

I have the following code: ``` /** * [...] * * @see #setShowOn(T, Device) */ public static <T extends HasStyle> void setHideOn(T widget, Device device) { [...] } ``` `setShowOn` has the same signature as `setHideOn`. Javadoc complains: ``` Tag @see: can't find setHideOn(T, Device) in com.github.[...] ``` I tried different alternatives (`@see #setShowOn(<T>, Device)`, `@see #setShowOn(T extends HasStyle, Device)`, ...) but those didn't even work in Eclipse. (`@see #setShowOn(T, Device)` does.)
