I want to create an API using Javadoc, but i dont know how?

Answer 1

For a big project, I find it's easiest to write a bash script to identify the packages and pass them to javadoc. Something along the lines of #!/bin/bash
find core -name \*.java |
    sed -e "s%\\[^\\]*.java%%" -e "s%\\%.%g" |
        xargs javadoc ${JAVADOC_OPTIONS}Of course, with modern versions of javadoc you could instead use #!/bin/bash
# Should really use tempfile
find core -name \*.java >/tmp/filelist$$
javadoc ${JAVADOC_OPTIONS} @/tmp/filelist$$
