How do I get javadoc for JDK 11 and Spring Boot 2 to display in Intellij?
Answered
Ctrl+q doesn't show the javadoc for either JDK or for Spring Boot. I have turned on automatic down through maven (Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment ->Build Tools -> Maven -> Importing) but I don't get any javadoc to show up. I also don't want to depend on Maven. I want to do this globally, not project by project.
How do I get JDK and Spring javdoc in Intellij?

Quick documentation works from the sourcepath configuration, double check src.zip is attached to the JDK you are using in this project:
I get method signatures without anything on the sourcepath. The link you attached is 7 years old.
Adding the documentation .zip file under the documentation tab gave me JDK 11 javadoc.
To get javadoc for 3rd party libs I had to open the maven window (right sidebar) and click the download button on the top button bar and select Download Documentation.
Quick Documentation works from sources, External Documentations works from external JavaDoc (HTML).
The 7 year old link is still actual as nothing has changed since that time.
If the quick documentation doesn't work, it means that the sources are not attached correctly.
