Online API documentation doesn't include "package-list" file #525

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

The file mentioned in the title is necessary for the javadoc tool to link H2 
API documentation to other API documentations. It should be at 
"http://www.h2database.com/javadoc/package-list"

Hi,

What do you mean with "link H2 API documentation to other API documentations"?

The javadocs at the website at http://www.h2database.com/javadoc are 
non-standard (using a custom doclet). If you want to include the docs with 
another product (but why would you do that?), you could run javadoc yourself.

Well, since you already have the documentation online, why not have mine link 
to yours? My project uses some H2 classes, so it would be nice for people who 
browse my project to easily move to yours where appropriate.

The problem is that this won't easily work right now. The JavaDoc tool expects 
a "package-list" file to exist at the root. Could you possibly switch to a more 
standard doclet?

Well, I like the Javadocs the way they are. I think they look better than the 
default doclet output.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure why you would want to link from your Javadocs 
to the H2 Javadocs.

But as far as I understand, you could already do that, if you javadoc yourself 
on the H2 source code, to generate the package-list.

Setting to wont fix for now.
