How to attach source or JavaDoc in eclipse for any jar file e.g. JavaFX?

Presently I'm working with JavaFX. Whenever I hover over a method of JavaFX its gives me the following error:

'Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached Javadoc and hence no Javadoc could be found'

How should I resolve this? How can I attach the javadoc or source so that I could see the description of the methods?


  • Download jar file containing the JavaDocs.
  • Open the Build Path page of the project (right click, properties, Java build path).
  • Open the Libraries tab.
  • Expand the node of the library in question (JavaFX).
  • Select JavaDoc location and click edit.
  • Enter the location to the file which contains the Javadoc (the one you just downloaded).

  • You can configure the Javadocs with downloading jar, basically javadocs will be referred directly from internet.

    Complete steps:

  • Open the Build Path page of the project (right click, properties, Java build path).
  • Open the Libraries tab.
  • Expand the node of the library in question (JavaFX).
  • Select JavaDoc location and click edit.
  • Enter the location to the file which contains the Javadoc. Specifically for the javaFX javadoc enter http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/
  • for offline javadocs, you can download from : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/java-se-7-doc-download-435117.html

    After clicking Accept License Agreement you can download javafx-2_2_0-apidocs.zip


    Neither Project/Properties/Javadoc Location nor Project/Properties/Java Build Path/Libraries had not helped me until I picked and moved up in " Order and Export " tab of " Java Build Path " "Android Dependencies" and added-in-library.jar. I hope is will be useful.
