[Eclipse Plugin] JavaDocs unavailable since version 9.2.8

Symptoms

Eclipse integration of the RunMyJobs API documentation is no longer working since RunMyJobs version 9.2.8.

Eclipse displays the error "An exception occurred while getting the Javadoc. See log for details." 

Cause

Since 9.2.8 the API documentation is not part of the product and available online.

As result Eclipse plugin is not able to find the API documentation to generate api-docs.jar file.

 Redwood Documentation - Eclispe Integration.

Workaround

1. Download the attached .zip file in this KBA
2. Extract the downloaded zip into the api-docs folder
3. Zip the folder again and change its extension to .jar
4. You will now have a file named api-docs.jar with inside the api-docs folder, which contains all the API documentation
5. Add the api-docs.jar file to the following directory:
   • C:\Users\<user>\.valet\versions\<version>\
6. The Redwood API documentation will now work correctly in Eclipse
