JDK-1242492 - stddoclet: Add links to source code, using -src option
Description

Name: krT82822			Date: 09/29/99


it would be very nice if javadoc's output would include a link
to the source code for definitions, especially the swing stuff,
which I find myself having to look at in order to really
understand the widgets' behaviors.

this would be of a flavor similar to meta-. in emacs, except
that it would be html links, and faster and more accurate than
my doing a grep or reading a lot of file-names to find what I
hope is the right file, then a control-s in emacs to find the
method definition...

EVALUATION This is a dupe of 1242492, although this takes a slant at how it should integrate with emacs. I'll copy that pertinent paragraph to that request. doug.kramer@Eng 1999-10-05
