javadoc

What is the best way to properly and usefully document a function of an anonymous object? I am doing some programming with Soar (API here ), and have code that looks something like this: /** * * @return handler that does blah */ public static RhsFunctionInterface functionBlah() { return new Kernel.RhsFunctionInterface() { /** * Does blah */ @Override public String rhsFunctionHandler(int eventID, Object data, String agentName, String functionName, String arguments) { return null; } }; } When it is important to know what the function of the returned object does, what it expects for parameters,

I have to build Javadoc from myCode.jar that contains both sources and class files. Can I do it without extracting the jar? According to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#classpath I should be able to do so this way: C:\>javadoc -d docs -classpath myCode.jar net\kem\jmx\CacheManagerMBean.java However, I get the following error: javadoc: error - File not found: "net\kem\jmx\CacheManagerMBean.java" [search path for source files: [myCode.jar]] [search path for class files: [C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_17\jre\lib\rt.jar, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_17\jre\lib

I know how to produce Javadoc for a subset of classes/interfaces/packages. But is there a way to produce Javadoc for only a subset of public methods? What I would prefer is to be able to mark methods (Javadoc tag or annotation) as belonging to a certain API or not be part of it. Then have a tool that produces Javadoc only for the specified set of methods - the ones which forms the API. The choice between public/private/package access to a method is not enough for my project. A public method may belong to a public API or not, or it might belong to API 1, but not API 2. Essentially, I would like

I want that when i mouse over a method i would be able to see my documentation of what the method does like when i put the mouse over Java's method I know that /** */ is how its done but: How do you explain what the Params Stands for? How do you create a new line, or make a word bold or italic? Peter Ilfrich If you're using Eclipse as IDE, you just need to create a comment with /** and press enter and it will generate your code for your Javadoc, including parameters, return values, etc. You just need to put in the descriptions. The same applies for class declarations (the Javadoc comment

I have spring framework dependencies in my Maven project. I want to attach the Javadoc for spring framework dependencies. I added to pom.xml following lines <repositories> <repository> <id>springsource-repo</id> <name>SpringSource Repository</name> <url>http://repo.springsource.org/release</url> </repository> </repositories> <build> <plugins> ... <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.9</version> <configuration> <downloadSources>true</downloadSources> <downloadJavadocs>true</downloadJavadocs> </configuration> </plugin> <

In Java's Javadoc, there is a way to inherit a method's documentation in a subclass using {@inheritDoc} tag . Is there a way to do the same in Kotlin's KDoc? Basically, what I'd like to do is the following: abstract class Base { /** * Some KDoc documentation here. */ abstract fun foo() } class Derived: Base() { /** * Here is all the documentation from Base#foo's KDoc inherited. * * And here goes something more in addition. */ override fun foo() { /* ... */ } } Dokka always copies the documentation from a base member to an inherited one if the inherited member does not have its own

Some compilers failed on non-ASCII characters in JavaDoc and source code comments. What is the current (Java 7) and future (Java 8 and beyond) practices with respect to Unicode in Java source files? Are there differences between IcedTea, OpenJDK, and other Java environments, and what is dictated the the language specification? Should all non-ASCII characters be escaped in JavaDoc with HTML &escape; -like codes? But what would be the Java // comment equivalent? Update : comments indicate that one can use any character set, and that upon compiling one needs to indicate what char set is used in
