javadoc

I recently set up my build server (Jenkins) to generate Javadocs for Ant builds. However, no matter what I do, I can't get it to include links to external libraries. When I attempt to use an online link, Ant returns: [javadoc] javadoc: warning - Error fetching URL: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/package-list When I use an offline link and reference a local copy of a package list, it gives no warnings, but doesn't generate links either. This occurs for every library I attempt to link, not just Java SE. Here are the respective lines for links in my build.xml: <link offline="true" href=

When a class overrides a concrete method or implements and abstract method, the Javadoc is automatically inherited unless explicitly overwritten. Or, at least the tool tries to do this. It seems it does not work for linked external APIs. For instance, when I in my code implement java.util.Map , or something else from the JRE, the javadocs are not inherited/copied from the JRE javadocs/apidocs. In my specific case, I am trying to configure this in the Maven2 Javadoc plugin, but it is the same when I run the javadoc CLI tool directly. My Maven2 Javadoc plugin configuration currently looks like

Do JDK classes have any further specifications beyond their Javadoc? If so, where? For example, consider Collections.unmodifiableMap . Its Javadoc doesn't say anything about thread-safety; so just going from the Javadoc, I can't assume that it's safe to expose the resulting map to other threads without taking some special steps of my own to gain thread-safety. But IMHO, any realistic implementation would store the internal map in a final field, so in Java 5 and higher, the resulting map will be thread-safe as long as the internal map is (with a "happens-before" relationship between any

I am using a third party library, i have included into my project. It contains classes for the application, but no sources, or Javadoc. As expected, mouse-over imported object shows no javadoc. Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached Javadoc and hence no Javadoc could be found. After googling for a bit, i came across 3 versions of jars app.jar app-sources.jar app-javadoc.jar It appears and app-javadoc.jar contains nothing but html pages and app-sources contans nothing but .java files (with Javadoc comments). What i did: Added all 3 files to the list of "Referenced Libraries

I'm stuck with a legacy Java codebase that has THOUSANDS of warnings when you compile it. I would love to actually fix the source of all these warnings, but unfortunately that's not an option at this time at my company (other things like "making new products that generate revenue" are considered higher priority by the people in charge; fancy that). Now, I could just live with all of these warnings, if it wasn't for the fact that they make it difficult to find actual errors in the output from our continuous build server. The build server just uses an ant call, nothing fancy, but so far I haven

Summary: I've run into an interesting problem, and I'm not quite sure how to sleuth it: Our project has been building fine for months I changed the maven-compiler-plugin to use the eclipse compiler instead of javac Now when I run mvn site , maven-javadoc-plugin fails According to the stack trace, it appears the Javadoc tool is crashing on a class file created by the Eclipse compiler Is there any way to fix this? If not, is there at least any way to debug it further? Full details: I'm using Java 1.6.0_27 and Maven 3.0.2. I've been using the javac compiler to build our codebase, but I'm

I'm a newbie to Eclipse and can't figure out how to get the JavaDocs for SWT and JFace to show up when I am editing. How do I do this? Thanks! I assume you've dowloaded the jars yourself and referenced them in your project. If so, you can right click the jar in the project explorer (in the 'Referenced Libraries' node) and click 'Properties'. The window that appears you can define the location of the jar's JavaDoc and source, if you have those available. You can also reach this by clicking Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries and expanding the node for the jar to which you want to

I'm using the Maven Javadoc Plugin. It outputs warnings as follows: [ERROR] /home/monperrus/spoon/src/main/java/spoon/visitor/CtVisitor.java:144: warning: no @param for <T> How to display those warnings as [WARNING] (and not the confusing [ERROR] )? Gray How to display those warnings as [WARNING] (and not the confusing [ERROR])? How to completely disable Javadoc warnings in Maven? If you are talking about the javadoc lint warnings introduced in Java 8 then you should be able to do the following. There are multiple ways of specifying the parameters depending on which version of the javadoc
