How do I link the javadoc for one jar to another?

Will PittengerAug 29 2013

I'm starting to work on the javadocs for my project. It consists of three JAR files. The problem is I haven't figured out is how to link the javadoc for one JAR to that for another jar. So if JAR A declares class X and JAR B has class Y extend class X, they need to be linked. But the javadoc output only has plain text there. What am I doing wrong? Something like @see com.u3e.tests.tools.X is output as text, not a link. I have the same problem for any @see pointing to part of the JDK. @see java.lang.Object is text.

My project is NetBeans IDE based.  Do I need to manually specify something on the command line?  I see the -sourcepath and -classpath command line options, but don't know if those would help or not.  Ideally, there would be a place directly in the Documentation portion of the properties for each JAR to list that, but I don't see it.  The various JARs are listed under the libraries section as needed to satisfy dependencies.
