How to link JavaDoc to different class?

java, javadoc

Solution

No there isn't any such tag or functionality as far as I know. Refer the javadoc tag list for more details.

From the link

    Tag      |  Introduced in JDK/SDK
-----------------------------------
    @author       1.0
    {@code}       1.5
    {@docRoot}    1.3
    @deprecated   1.0
    @exception    1.0
    {@inheritDoc} 1.4
    {@link}       1.2
    {@linkplain}  1.4
    {@literal}    1.5
    @param        1.0
    @return       1.0
    @see          1.0
    @serial       1.2
    @serialData   1.2
    @serialField  1.2
    @since        1.1
    @throws       1.2
    {@value}      1.4
    @version      1.0

Problem

I'm trying to write a javadoc which displays the javadoc from another method, like: ``` private List<Object> list; /** * {@link list#indexOf(Object)} */ int getMyIndex(Object o) { return list.indexOf(o); } ``` This would give me a javadoc link when I use my `getMyIndex()` method. But what I want is that eclipse just actually shows(!) the javadoc from the method that I referenced in `@link`. Of course that's not what link is for. Link does what is should do in this case. But what do I have to use to somehow "import" a foreign javadoc there?
