How to make javadoc documentation available in JShell?

Question

I am using JShell to test a library for which I made classes, sources, and javadoc available through the class path like so:

jshell --class-path library-javadoc.jar:library-sources.jar:library-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Still, when double tab after a documented Java identifier I receive:

<no documentation found>

How does JShell expect the documentation?

Thanks a lot. I am using the Oracle JDK and not the open JDK. Is it likely that they share this issue? – Mario Boley Nov 12 '17 at 11:16
It is the same code, Oracle develops the new code in OpenJDK – eckes Nov 12 '17 at 18:07
