Attach Javadoc stops working with 2016.2.2
Answered
Any ideas on why attaching a javadoc jar in 2016.2.2 does not work anymore? I offer screenshots using regular javadocs working in 2016.2.1 and not working in 2016.2.2:
Attach javadoc jar to library jar file in 2016.2.1
Attach javadoc jar to library jar file in 2016.2.2
I tested with 2016.2.3 EAP and the issue persists.

Thanks, there are a couple other similar issues, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-159868 marked as duplicate of https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-158690. I don't think a project is required as you can do this in any project that attaches a local javadoc jar file to a jar library so should be easy to reproduce. The javadoc attaches as expected if the jar is exploded as a local folder structure.
It may be specific to the jars or the configuration of the project. Please attach the isolated test case to the issue.
Seems to be exclusive to Windows as I updated Mac to 2016.2.2 and everything works as expected.
Jars can be damaged or caches broken, that it why a test case is needed.
Ok, I have attached an isolated test case to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-158690#comment=27-1579791 , you can download here > https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/_persistent/win-test.zip?file=74-337492&c=true . I am able to reproduce this issue with multiple different jars/javadoc jars. This issue may have existed on Windows for some time. It works on Mac with same jars/javadoc.
