Javadoc for JDK not working
When trying to view the javadocs on java.lang.String#substring(int, int), I don't get any. It only tells me where it looked ( https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html#substring(int,int)), and all links are valid when opened in the browser.
I found a similar thread from 2008, however I do have the correct links:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206853375-External-javadoc-not-working-in-8858?input_string=Javadoc%20for%20JDK%20not%20working
Javadoc for external libraries added via Gradle works fine.
Versions:
- Java: Tried both JDK 16 and JDK 17, installed through apt
- OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Kernel: 5.11.0-40-generic
- IntellIJ: 2021.2.2 #IC-212.5284.40 community edition
I've attached two images showing what the std doc looks like, and what an external library's doc looks like (Bukkit API in this case)

Hello,
Could you please attach screenshot from "Project Structure | SDKs - Documentation Path"?
Of course. These are the default settings that shipped with IntelliJ for me..
Could you please share idea.log ("Help | Show Log in...") after restarting IDE and reproducing the issue? I still couldn't reproduce it on my side.
Of course, apologies for the delay. I wasnt able to find a place to upload the file here, so I've used transfer.sh
Note that the log also includes Rust logging, this is because IntelliJ opens on the last used project :)
Could you please try to remove "Documentation Path"? According to log it generates wrong links, e.g. "https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java/net/URL.html#openStream()"
Of course. Removing the path indeed removes the 404's from the log, however it does not show Javadoc for the standard library still, I assume that is because it now has no clue where to look :D
It works fine on my side without path. Could you please try to remove all configured SDK and add them once again? Also please try to run "File | Invalidate Caches"
That seems to have fixed it indeed. Thanks!
You are welcome!
