Javadoc 1.2 |
JDK 1.2 Contents |
Javadoc is a tool that parses the declarations and documentation comments in a set of source files and produces a set of HTML pages describing the classes, inner classes, interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields.Javadoc EnhancementsYou can use Javadoc doclets to customize Javadoc output. A doclet is a program written with the doclet API that specifies the content and format of the output to be generated by the javadoc tool. You can write a doclet to generate any kind of text-file output, such as HTML, SGML, XML, RTF, and MIF. SunTM provides a "standard" doclet for generating HTML-format API documentation. Doclets can also be used to perform special tasks not related to producing API documentation. For example, a diagnostic doclet could be created to check that all class members of the classes on which Javadoc operates have documentation comments.
