Why do a lot of things not have a javadoc?

[Maximilian]

None of these methods have comments attached to them... I love these comments they're so helpful. Have I done something wrong or do these methods/classes just not come with documentation?

You need to make sure the javadocs are downloaded. If this is a maven project, you can configure netbeans to auto-download those. If this isn't a maven project you'll have to find them on your own and include them manually.

The particular doc in the screenshot you are looking for can be found here.

https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/ap...vletResponse.html#encodeURL(java.lang.String)

To set this to auto-download, in netbeans go to Tools->Options->Java on the top->Maven->under catagories Dependencies->Check Javadoc

You'll want to set it to either "Every project open" or "First project open only".

Here are my settings
