I would find it extremely useful if there was a way to put a link in javadoc to a standard resource file that resides in src/main/resources or src/test/resources so that another coder could quickly navigate to the resource file (in this case a JSON file) in IntelliJ.
These files are used in unit tests and need to be modified often as the schema changes.
The answer here Link to text file (resource) in Javadoc does not help as an absolute path would be too fragile.
Is there a way to do the same thing as @see with resources? Something specific to IntelliJ would be great if javadoc itself falls short.
Not quite an answer but a feature of IDE:
If you use Intellij IDEA, it is possible out-of-the-box. Where you load the file you must specify the path, right? So you Ctrl+click on a path and Intellij just brings you to the file.
The path is relative to the classpath so you have portability.
It requires all the team members to use Intellij, yes, not a global solution, not a "literal" solution.
