javadoc

I have several finished, older PHP projects with a lot of includes that I would like to document in javadoc/phpDocumentor style. While working through each file manually and being forced to do a code review alongside the documenting would be the best thing, I am, simply out of time constraints, interested in tools to help me automate the task as much as possible. The tool I am thinking about would ideally have the following features: Parse a PHP project tree and tell me where there are undocumented files, classes, and functions/methods (i.e. elements missing the appropriate docblock comment)

I have downloaded Java API documentation from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html#docs and have supposedly attached it to Eclipse using the Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs->Edit->"Select rt.jar"->Javadoc Location And the location has been accepted and "Validates" just fine. However, for the life of me, I can't get Eclipse to show the Javadocs in the tooltip whene I hover over an item (for example in the declaration of an ArrayList). I have also restarted Eclipse in attempts to get it to work What am I doing wrong? Eclipse doesn't pull the tooltips from

When trying to create package level Javadoc comments, whats the preferred method? What do you do? package-info.java Pros Newer Cons Abuse of a class - Classes are for code, not for only comments package.html Pros HTML extension means its not code Syntax highlighting in IDE's/text editors Cons None? For me, I've always used Package.html. But I'm wondering if its the correct choice. package-info.java : "This file is new in JDK 5.0, and is preferred over package.html."— javadoc - The Java API Documentation Generator Addendum: The big difference seems to be package annotations . There's a little

I am currently beginning with Python and I have a strong PHP background and in PHP I have took the habit of using javadoc as a documentation template. I was wondering if javadoc has its place as docstring documentation in Python. What are the established conventions and/or official guildelines here? E.g. is something like this too elaborate to fit in the Python mindset or should I try to be as concise as possible? """ replaces template place holder with values @param string timestamp formatted date to display @param string priority priority number @param string priority_name priority name

I'm using javadocs generated by the javadoc Ant task to document a web service, and I want to exclude some constructors from the output. How do I do that? Uri There is no way to do this for public methods. The standard practice (even in quite a few JDK classes) is to indicate that the method or constructor is not meant for public use. There is a plan to add an @exclude tag in the future : @exclude - for API to be excluded from generation by Javadoc. Programmer would mark a class, interface, constructor, method or field with @exclude. Presence of tag would cause API to be excluded from the
