Show Javadoc in IntelliJ IDEA

When importing a Native Module into IntelliJ IDEA, some Javadoc isn't shown by default. For example the Javadoc of the AOM attribute in the module's main class, which is an IStaticMethods object and gets injected during runtime of the module. IStaticMethods is part of lib/nativemodule-base.jar and IntelliJ IDEA doesn't pick up the sources by default (while Eclipse does this automatically).

To let IntelliJ IDEA know about the sources and properly show all Javadoc, you need to add for example lib/nativemodule-base.jar as sources.
