How to pack javadoc and src into a jar-file?

I hope you find out. I use a huge library (9MB w/max compression). It
has the classes like they are supposed to, but has the source files
under /src and the javadoc under /doc/api. I would love to be able to
get all of this from the jar. BTW, if necessary, I can probably get
them to change where the information is in the jar file.

You can pack them into but still forced to assign entries inside as
source and javadoc roots correspondingly. There's no way to do this
automatically since there's no a defined convention for jar-file layout
like this.

I just zipped a docs-tree and added the zip-file to the Javadoc-Tab. The following entry is displayed:

docs.zip!\docs\api(D:\mydir)

When I try to access the doc via Shift-F1 the following Error is displayed:

Malformed url: jar://D:/mydir/docs.zip!/docs/api/com/.../Sequence.html

The displayed path to the html file seems to be correct. Do you have any idea what may be wrong ?

Thanks and regards,

I am confused. Your first statement sounds like it can be done, but
your second sound like it cannot.

Here is what I have in my jar file:
/ is where my classpath is, like normal
/doc is where my javadoc is (can be moved if necessary)
/src is where my java source files are (can be moved if necessary).

I guess what I really need is the ability to specify a jar file and a
directory path (or prefix) inside the jar. Does that seem feasible?

Because external browser doesn't support jar:// protocol. This will only
work with Ctrl+Q (Quick javadoc)
