[Jython-users] Python doc generation from Java source

[Nicolas F. <ni...@pn...>]

Hello Jython users,

We use Jython to allow our customers to write extensions for our software
written in Java. The public code is accessible in a jar, say *a.jar*, and
the javadoc bundle for that jar is say, *a.zip*.

Users writing non-trivial Python script extensions would like to use
full-blown IDEs like Eclipse+pydev or PyCharm. I was wondering how to
integrate javadoc as Python documentation within those projects: can those
IDEs somewhat take the javadoc zip and figure out what doc entry to fetch
and how to convert it from the javadoc html format?

Example: a.jar contains com/abc/Foo.class; a.zip has a javadoc entry for Foo
from com.abc import Foo
a = Foo()

I would like the IDE to know that the doc for com.abc.Foo is located in the
javadoc zip archive, fetch it and offer it to the user.

Do you know of any existing IDE plugin that could do that?

Thank you,
