Hello, I am using Processing 4.2 in Windows10. I am interested in adding the “ **JavaDoc** ” tool. The processing Documentations Tools page mentions to execute the “Add Tools …” from the Tools menu but there isn’t an “Add Tool …” menu item to choose from. I checked the “Contribution Manager” application but there is not listing of any tools to install. I am unsure how to proceed. Thank you.

Hello,  
The Tools tab is empty in my case: It does not show any listings at all - Basically, I don’t see a listing shown in your snap.  
This is what I get:

Does anyone have any ideas and/or suggestions about what to do in order to get Contribution tools to show up in the “Contribution Manager” application?

Thanks,
