How to add reference to a method parameter in javadoc?

Question

Is there a way to add references to one or more of a method\'s parameters from the method documentation body? Something like:

/**
 * When {@paramref a} is nu         


        

Answer 1

As far as I can tell after reading the docs for javadoc there is no such feature.

Don't use foo as recommended in other answers; you can use {@code foo}. This is especially good to know when you refer to a generic type such as {@code Iterator} -- sure looks nicer than Iterator<String>, doesn't it!
