jide-oss-xxx.jar and jide-common.jar are NOT 100% identical

[tmouradian]

I was trying to replace jide-common.jar with jide-oss that I just built to make sure that the bug fix didn't break anything.

Well, long story short, these two are different, what is missing is com.jidesoft.swing.LayoutPersistence

Without it I need to have both of the jar files in the class path and I guess make sure that the oss gets loaded first.

I think easier way of doing things would be to move LayoutPersistance out oss into one of the other jars, may be dock where it seems to belong anyways or components

It is intentionally. jide-common.jar is greater than jide-oss.jar. It has more than just LayoutPersistence but a few more other classes for reason. So if you want to test, you can put jide-oss.jar before jide-common.jar in the class path so that it uses the latest version of classes in jide-oss.jar but still have the extra classes in jide-common.jar.

And where are the source stub for the classes in jide-common.jar but not in jide-oss.jar ?

[JIDE Support]

We will add the stub for common in next release.

Can't you just make it available to those of us that need it right now !
I'm starting a project using JIDE and it is just frustrating to not having the eclipse inline JavaDoc for about half of the classes I encounter.

[JIDE Support]

There are only three classes that are in jide-common.jar but not in jide-oss.jar. Not sure why you say half of the classes. For most of the classes in jide-common, you have the complete source code under src/src-oss.zip, thus no need to use the stub.

FYI, Eclipse doesn't need source stubs for the javadoc/correct arguments names, etc. You can link jars the javadoc folder from the download zip (I always just extract it to the same place).

Yes, you are right. I'm so used of associating the source code that I didn't think about associating the Javadoc directly

[JIDE Support]

Just so you know, this common stub is fixed in 2.4.7 which is just released.

It is good to know Eclipse can leverage javadoc. I thought it should be able to too. As far as I can see, Intellij doesn't seem to support this. Not sure about NB.

Thanks,
