javadoc

I have a folder full of HTML files that comprise the Spring Framework API documentation, http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.2.4.RELEASE/javadoc-api/ . What I'd like is to be able to hover over the name of a Spring method/interface/etc in Eclipse (like the ClassPathXmlApplicationContext class) and have the explanation appear from those documents. At the moment, what I get is "Note: This element neither has attached source nor attached Javadoc and hence no Javadoc could be found". Is there a way to tell Eclipse to implement that folder and its subfolders to make those Javadocs work? Do I have

The new theme in JDK 7 for javadoc is hard for me to read. It may not be pretty but I really would prefer the old theme. Aside from installing the old JDK and switching between them, can I somehow use the old doclet? Have to admit I haven't experienced this yet, but I've found that you can customize the CSS for the java doc. Here is the description. You might be interested in running this: C:> javadoc -stylesheetfile C:\user\exampleStylesheet.css com.examplePackage Its also stated there that it creates 'stylesheet.css' file so you should see how it looks like and what can be overridden there.

I use javadoc to document my classes and methods. I would like to add some overview information to my packages, too. I like how Eclipse creates a stub of a matching Doc Comment for each class or method once I type /**<Enter> . Does Eclipse have an easy way to generate a package.html file , too? VonC Update 4 years later (Oct. 2013) javabeangrinder 's answer (upvoted) mentions the following trick: To create a package-info.java file in an existing package: Right click on the package where you want a package-info.java . Select new->package . Check the Create package.info.java check box. Click on

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm using the method enum.valueOf(String name) . No problem there, except that when I was checking the javadoc to find out more about this method, I couldn't find it. There is javadoc for valueOf(Class<T> enumType, String name) but none for enum.valueOf(String name) (which would suggest that a method with this signature doesn't exist - but clearly it does). Am I missing something here, or is this an oversight in the javadoc for the API? Thanks There is no method Enum.valueOf(String) However, every enum has a values() and valueOf(String) method generated

How do I write links into javadocs? Currently, I have something like: {@link java.lang.Math#sqrt(double) Math.sqrt} to produce the text Math.sqrt that should link to the java.lang.Math.sqrt(double) API, however, all it does is produce the text, no link. To get a link to something external to your code, you need use the -linkoffline option where the -linkoffline option has the format something like this (artificially wrapped): -linkoffline http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/ http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/ This tells the JavaDoc tool where to find the link to the JavaDoc and for what

This question already has an answer here: Remove source file comments using IntelliJ? 5 answers I have some big files in my project with many lines commented. Usually when I change something in my code, I comment unnecessary lines first and after testing remove them. But sometimes at the end there are too many comments in a big file, and it is hard to remove them. So, may be there is some function in Android Studio to 'clean up' file from comments (excluding javadoc comments, of course) like 'Organize imports' for removing unused imports in file. Or, maybe, some kind of highlighting commented

(note that this question is not about CAS, it's about the "May fail spuriously" Javadoc). The only difference in the Javadoc between these two methods from the AtomicInteger class is that the weakCompareAndSet contains the comment: "May fail spuriously" . Now unless my eyes are cheated by some spell, both method do look to be doing exactly the same: public final boolean compareAndSet(int expect, int update) { return unsafe.compareAndSwapInt(this, valueOffset, expect, update); } /* ... * May fail spuriously. */ public final boolean weakCompareAndSet(int expect, int update) { return unsafe
