JavaDoc - OpenOffice / Word

I need to paste the JavaDoc of my project into an OpenOffice or Word document. Copy and Paste isn't a good solution since all the tables of the by JavaDoc generated HTML files are being pasted in the document...
Is there a better way to get the JavaDoc output into a OpenOffice / Word document?
Thanks! :)

The same way as you tell this to the Javadoc. The DocFlex/Doclet is just a doclet (the standard Javadoc also has one - the Standard Doclet, which is called implicitly).
Please look at the 'generator.bat' or 'linux/generator.sh' (for Linux) contained in the downloaded archive to see how to specify your Java project. Those command files are prepared to generate a demo. But all you need is to change where your Java sources are located and which packages you want to document.
For all details how to specify everything to Javadoc, please see:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/javadoc/index.html
The DocFlex/Doclet has its own additional options, about which you can read on this page:
http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/doclet.php
All of those options can be also assigned interactively in a special Doclet GUI, which will popup by default when you run Javadoc with the DocFlex/Doclet. You can disable that GUI, of course. See also an ANT buildfile demo at 'ant/' subdir.
If the RTF output the DocFlex/Doclet generates is something not what you need (it does contain those summary tables as well), using the full edition DocFlex/Javadoc it is possible to customize everything. If you buy a full license, we will help you with this for free.(Although, you can equally do it by your own).

  • Generating javadoc as word document

    Hi
    Can anyone help me to generate javadoc as word doc.
    Which doclet needs to be used and what is the settings needs to be done.
    What are all we need to generate it as word doc.
    Thanks,
    Govind

    Hi all,
    Since Google displays this rather old message one of the first (on various requests containing "javadoc+word"), I would like to remind the public that the good RTF doclet do exist now.
    Please, go by this link:
    http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/
    The freeware edition called DocFlex/Doclet offers highly sophisticated formatting capabilities, rendering of embedded HTML tags and including images into the generated RTF. You can freely download and use it. The downloads page:
    http://www.filigris.com/downloads/
    The full edition called DocFlex/Javadoc is for professional developers, who want to customize their own RTF (or HTML) documentation generated with Javadoc.

  • OpenOffice & Word

    When I open an attachment in Mail, OpenOffice opens it immediately. How do I change the Mail program so that it opens Word instead?
    Thanks in advance.

    Via the Finder select a Word document and use Get Info for the file.
    At Open With, select the Word application and below that select Change All to open all Word documents with the Word application.

  • MacBook and Openoffice 2.0

    I desperately need to be able to use the Database in the OpenOffice Suite. I have already installed X11, and the openoffice word processor runs fine. The problem is when i try to open a table in the database i get an error message:
    "Openoffice.org requires a Java rutime environment (JRE) to perform this task. the selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools-Options-Openoffice.org-java"
    When i click ok i get another message: "The connection to the data source "Experimental Table" could not be established. No java installation could be found. Please check your installation!"
    Neither message makes much sense... If i go to "Tools-Options-Openoffice.org-java" as the first message suggests, it shows "Java runtime enviroments (JRE) already installed: Java version 1.4.2_09.
    If i try to download another version of Java i recieve a message that says i can't download another java onto my harddrive since another (better) version of java is already present.
    Please help!
    Sorry for the long post but i really need access to this database program... it was the reason i bought a laptop to begin with! :P

    When i download the version you suggest, the Icon that mounts is a "MacOSX" icon. When i open it there are many files i can choose from. Among them are the two you mentioned, but there is also a 2.0.0 a 2.0.1rc5 a couple other simple ones and then weird names like "fink" "moz" or "kinput2.macim"
    At any rate when i choose 2.0.2rc4 i then scroll thru and select the US english version called "OOo2.0.2rc4.2006408_MacOSXIntelen-US.dmg"
    After i select it i immediately get a message that says "The application is on an FTP server. Are you sure you want to open it?" I click continue and it displays the exact same message again. Then i click continue and nothing appears to happen. My downloads window remains empty... So i click on the "OOo2.0.2rc4.2006408_MacOSXIntelen-US.dmg" file again and go thru the two error messages and now nothing seems to be happening, but within the 2.0.2rc4 file my mouse turns into a spinning pinwheel and then after about 5min of waiting i get message that reads "Server connection interupted: ooopackages.good-day.net Then it gives me the option to disconnect but the mouse still turns into a pinwheel when i put it over the 2.0.2rc4 window.
    Bah!

  • Less expensive alternate ways to get Adobe Story?

    I love Story, but looking at what CS Live is going to cost come April, I'm really thinking I should look elsewhere for my screen writing needs. Possibly go back to Celtx for awhile till I find something I can buy and keep using. I don't use, and don't anticipate using other CS Live programs, so for me $200-$300 a year is really steep (not to mention I could barely afford it anyway with the cost of College these days.)
    So that leaves me with three questions. Firstly, will Adobe have an option to only pay for the pieces of Live we want to use, like just paying (even if it is a yearly fee) for Adobe Story for less money? Or will there be a way to just buy Adobe Story without getting all the CS Live bells and whistles with it? Or will there be a student discount like with Adobe's other programs? I really just use the desktop App and don't really use the "live" features of it so at least for awhile the price just isn't worth it to me, nice as the integration and feel is.
    I'm sure that the Live service is targeted at businesses who can afford the price, but I'm sure I'm not the only individual who knows that when April comes, there's either going to have to be an alternate, cheaper way to handle it, or we're going to have to jump ship.
    Just wanted to throw that out there since I can't find much discussion on it.

    IT is duplication Celtx with a Flash interface that is ridgid and not user friendly. It is very Adobe (pdf'y), and not enough story writing functions. Writing is the first component of creative commnications —even Celtx has a Novel category. At the root, words tell the story, not a production manager or producer or budget breakdown. Without a solid, well-written story, that is proofed, at final draft status, all other film making functions have a greater chance of failing.
    Place a a program like WORD or OPenOffice word prcessor on top of it and it might work. For as much as I detest MS,  MS WORD is the dominent word processor app. for 99% of creative writers.
    By the way Celtx is at a holiday mark down price of $9.95.

    Mrpeter1985,
    Hmm.. I'm not sure that's how I'd interpret the warranty statement in the EULA. 
    I don't think it means that your license is void if you get a virus, but rather that the warranty of the performance of the software might be void.  I would also postulate that it's not a permanent void.  Reloading should be fine.
    My interpretation is that MS is reasonably saying that if the OS malfunctions because it is infected by a virus that they aren't responsible to fix the code.  I.e. if you escalate a bug as a normal course of action, they would support it under the terms of the warranty, but if the bug were the result of virus corruption, then they aren't on the hook.
    In any event - interesting discussion, but in practice... clean the virus or reload, right?
    Plenty of good reasons to like Windows or to like Linux.
    Different strokes for different folks, right?

  • Why won't my Page Numbers and Footnotes from Swriter (OpenOffice) appear in .doc (MS Word) documents

    I have written a book using Swriter (OpenOffice).
    I have Footnote descriptions at the bottom of some pages and Page Numbers located at the top and bottom of each page) throughout the book.
    I converted it to a .doc (MS Word) document for some people that have MS Word and the Footnote descriptions do not appear at the bottom of the specific page (the actual Footnote Numbers still appear in the specific sentence). Also, the Page Numbers do not appear at the bottom and top of each page.

    Sorry, that isn't a Firefox support issue. Try the OpenOffice support forum. <br />

  • Links aus Word oder OpenOffice werden verloren

    Hallo, bis Version 8 hatte der Acrobat keine Probleme die in einem Officedok angelegten Links korrekt umzusetzen, damit man im pdf den Link einfach anklicken kann. Jetzt werden die Links zwar als solche (auch unterstrichen) angezeigt, jedoch ist der Link selbst weg.
    Das tritt sowohl in Word wie auch in OpenOffice auf.
    Der Haken in den Voreinstellungen bei "Verknüpfungen aus URL-Adressen erstellen" ist gesetzt.
    Danke für Hilfe.

    Ich denke den Fehler gefunden zu haben ...
    Mein Textlink lautete: Link zu Google-Maps. Das funktionierte nicht. Auch wenn ich zum Text www. davor setzte, klappte es nicht.
    Wenn ich aber www.Link_zu_Google-Maps schreibe, wird der Link im pdf korrekt generiert.
    Das kann ich in diesem Fall zwar so machen, würde aber in einem normalen Text wo ein Satzteil verlinkt wird ... sehr bescheiden aussehen.
    Evtl. gibt es ja doch noch eine andere Lösung.
    Edit: Zu früh gefreut. Der Link ist zwar klickbar, jedoch ist die richtige Adresse weg und eben nur "Link_zu_Google-Maps" was natürlich Blödsinn ist.

  • DocFlex/Javadoc 1.5.6, a multi-format doclet development tool and more

    DocFlex/Javadoc is both a multi-format Javadoc Doclet and a rapid doclet development tool, which allows easy creation of professional quality Java API documentation generated by Javadoc in various output formats.
    More in this article:
    Key Features
    Availability
    This Version
    What is DocFlex?
    Main Concepts
    Other Applications
    Links
    KEY FEATURES
    Template-driven doclet architecture
    - Actual doclets are created in the form of special templates interpreted by the DocFlex Doclet, which is the template interpreter / output generator wrapped in the form of a Javadoc Doclet.
    - The high quality graphic Template Designer allows you to visually design most of things, whose development was possible so far only by direct Java coding.
    - The templates are designed independently on a particular output format. All formatting is specified in some universal way using properties of template components. During the generation, it is rendered with the suitable features available in the selected output format.
    - The elaborated support of template parameters (including multivalued list parameters). The parameters are defined and accessed within templates to adjust dynamic properties of template components. Most of options previously used to control an ordinary doclet now simply become template parameters!
    - The possibility to call templates from one another. This feature (along with the template parameters) makes possible re-using the same templates for different tasks as well as organizing template libraries.
    Data processing
    - The entire Doclet API is represented in the form of a virtual XML document (called Doclet DSM), on which the designing and processing of all templates is based.
    - Sophisticated capabilities for data querying and sorting based on an extension of XPath.
    - Full support of new Java 5.0 language features: Generic Types, Enums, Annotations.
    - Simultaneous support of Java 1.4 and Java 5.
    Creating hyperlinks
    - Generation of an extensive network of hyperlinks interconnecting the whole documentation.
    - The hyperlinks can be generated in all output formats that support them (this currently includes HTML and RTF).
    - The universal way of defining documentation cross-links based on the link/target keys specified in templates.
    - In RTF, the cross-links can be generated in the form of page number references, which effectively makes them usable even in the printed documentation.
    - In HTML, the possibility of loading several frame windows from a single hyperlink at once.
    Universal support of various formatting techniques
    - text formatting: fonts, colors, borders
    - paragraph formatting: margins, pagination control, borders, colors
    - border formatting: styles (solid, double, dashed, dotted), thickness, colors
    - tables: arbitrary cell layouts, borders, nested tables
    - lists: bulleted, numbered, delimited
    - document fields (RTF): page number, number of pages, TOC, etc.
    - page formatting: size, orientation, margins, headers/footers
    - formatting styles
    - rendering of embedded HTML, which means interpreting in non-HTML output formats (such as RTF) the HTML tags embedded in text data (e.g. documentation comments). Almost all HTML tags practically usable in doc-comments are supported.
    Inserting images
    - statically specified in templates
    - dynamically, obtained by <img> tags found in Java comments
    - supported image formats: GIF, PNG, JPG, WMF, EMF, BMP
    Output formats
    - HTML (both framed multi-file and single-file output)
    - RTF (version 1.6 - supported since Word 2000).
    - TXT (plain text), which may be particularly useful for various utilizations of the Java code information provided by the Doclet API generate XML files by it, or SQL files to import into a database).
    Standard Template Set
    - The ready-to-use Standard Template Set included in all editions of DocFlex/Javadoc allows you to immediately generate:
    (*) The framed HTML Java API documentation similar to that generated by the standard Javadoc.
    (*) The same documentation packed in a single HTML file.
    (*) The unmatched quality RTF JavaDoc.
    - Special features supported by standard templates:
    (*) Excluding classes/methods/fields by custom tags and annotations.
    (*) Selective omitting of package qualifiers.
    (*) Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of Standard Doclet).
    - By modifying the standard templates, you can quickly customize the generated documentation according to your needs.
    Doclet GUI
    - Besides command line options, DocFlex Doclet supports an alternative user-friendly way to control the template-based doclets interactively -- the high quality Doclet GUI.
    - The Doclet GUI starts with the Generator Dialog, where you can specify all general settings (such as the main template, the output format and the output directory), start the generation, track its progress and stop at any moment you need.
    - The grid-tree-based Parameter Inspector invoked from the Generator Dialog for a selected template allows you to view the descriptions of all template parameters controlling the doclet and set their values according to the parameter data types.
    - The generator options specific for the selected output format can be set in the corresponding Format Option Inspector (also invoked from the Generator Dialog).
    - Once the generation is finished (or cancelled), you can start it again with different settings or a new main template without restarting the whole Javadoc.
    Integrations
    - With any system that runs Javadoc (in particular, see below)
    - Apache Ant
    - Apache Maven 2
    - Eclipse
    For lots more information, see DocFlex/Javadoc homepage: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/]
    AVAILABILITY
    DocFlex/Javadoc comes in two editions:
    (1) The full edition called "DocFlex/Javadoc" as it is. This is commercial software, which includes all the implemented functionality.
    (2) The reduced freeware edition called "DocFlex/Doclet". It includes only the output generator and can be used as an interpretor of any custom templates. It also includes the standard template set, which allows you to instantly use it as an HTML doclet (similar to the standard one, however with some special features) plus an excellent quality RTF doclet.
    Both editions are available for downloads on the page: [http://www.filigris.com/downloads/]
    THIS VERSION
    New features:
    - The template interpretor works 15-20% faster
    - Improvement of RTF output
    - Multi-valued (list) template parameters
    - Custom elements
    - Standard Templates: Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of standard doclet)
    For more details, see product Readme | Change Log on the downloads page: [http://www.filigris.com/downloads/]
    WHAT IS DOCFLEX?
    DocFlex is an innovative technology for development of high quality template-driven documentation/report generators by any kind of data obtained from various software applications via the Java APIs they provide.
    MAIN CONCEPTS
    The whole DocFlex technology is based on four generalizations:
    (1) The mapping of an entire Java API onto a virtual XML-like representation made of some elements and attributes so as to process any such a representation in a universal way using techniques borrowed from the field of XML, like XPath (or more precisely, a conceptual analogue of XPath with some extensions not present in it).
    (2) The abstract formatting concept based on four layouts (flow of text, flow of paragraphs or paragraph-like objects, tables and lists), which can be rendered in most modern document formats (e.g. HTML, RTF, XSL-FO etc.)
    (3) The automatic generation of hyperlinks (or their page number reference equivalents) by matching the sets of keys produced from certain natural properties of the things (entities) being documented and hyper-linked.
    (4) The representation of the object controlling structure of the output generator (made on the first three principles) in the form of a plain-text template with a possibility to create and edit such templates using a graphic Template Designer, which visualizes the controlling objects (now becoming template components) in a form resembling the output they will produce.
    OTHER APPLICATIONS
    In fact, DocFlex/Javadoc is not the only application of DocFlex technology. The following is a summary of other DocFlex software:
    DocFlex/XML
    The SDK and runtime environment for rapid development and execution of template-driven automatic documentation/report generators by any data obtained from XML files.
    This is currently the most complex and advanced application of DocFlex technology. Actually, this tool can be considered a powerful alternative to XSLT. At least, it is definitely able to do what XSLT apparently not (for example, see “XSDDoc” below). We will publish a more detailed comparison “DocFlex/XML versus XSLT” with the next DocFlex/XML release, which is coming very soon.
    DocFlex/XML home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/]
    DocFlex/XML | XSDDoc
    A template set for DocFlex/XML that implements a high quality W3C XML Schema documentation generator in HTML and RTF output formats.
    For more details, please see: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/xsddoc/]
    DocFlex/XML | WSDLDoc
    A similar template set for DocFlex/XML that will implement a high-end WSDL documentation generator.
    This product is not released yet.
    DocFlex/Together
    A template-driven documentation generator for [Borland Together|http://www.borland.com/us/products/together/] (which is a UML modeling tool).
    This is the earliest application of DocFlex technology and probably the most beautiful one. It works only with Together Architect 1.x, which is now obsolete. Unfortunately, since Together 2005, Borland eliminated any open APIs (for unknown reasons). Because of this, further development of DocFlex/Together was impossible.
    DocFlex/Together home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/]
    See also examples of the UML documentation generated with it: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/examples/]
    The future DocFlex/UML is going to generate something like this as well.
    DocFlex/UML

    Now, DocFlex/Javadoc v1.4 has been released specifically dedicated to Linux (Mac OS X) support:
    (*) Some early bugs have been fixed, which prevented it working properly under Linux.
    (*) A special RTF option was introduced to generate OpenOffice.org friendly RTF (see below)
    (*) Improved support for external document viewers.
    (*) Now, DocFlex/Javadoc software includes the shell script files prepared to quickly install and launch it under Linux
    New RTF option
    A new RTF output option "Tune output for MS Word� has been introduced. This option, actually, allows switching off that very tuning (which until now was the default mode) to produce an RTF friendly to open with other non MS Word applications, e.g. OpenOffice.org Writer under Linux.

  • Unable to print from MS Word: "The Directory Service is currently unavailable"

    Hi! I hope you can help me. Please note that I have a Windows XP computer (Home Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, 32-bit). When I initially installed a Brother printer (model# MFC-J475DW) in Dec 2013, I had no problems printing documents. My problems
    started about 2 days ago. I got an error message after I opened a MS Word document (.doc) and clicked the Print button to print a document. The Printer "Name" field was empty.  I clicked the dropdown box in that window and saw 3 options:
    1 - Brother MFC-J475DW Printer
    2 - Brother PC-FAX v.3.2
    3 - PaperPort Image Printer
    When I selected "Brother MFC-J475DW Printer," a Microsoft Word dialog box appeared, saying the following:
    "The printer has not yet responded, but the Microsoft Office program may be able to proceed without printer information. Do you want to continue to wait for the printer?"
    I can either click on a Yes button or a No button. Either way, I'm brought back to the Print page. When I click on the OK button to start printing, another error message appears:
    "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup. Try one or more of the following:
    *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
    *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
    *Reinstall the printer driver."
    I have a choice to click either OK or Web Help. I click the OK button to close the box, then return to the Print page. When I click on the "Find Printer..." button, the Find Printers window appears for a moment, then is replaced by this error message:
    "The Directory Service is currently unavailable"
    On Friday (Mar 21), when the error first occurred, I was able to print a letter in MS Word after un- and re-installing the Brother printer and its drivers. The problem reappeared the next day (Saturday). I don't want to do that every time to print a single
    page, so would you please recommend a solution?
    By the way, I am able to print a test page from the printer in Control Panel, and I can print from a Notepad document. Also, when I go to the Control Panel, select "Printers and Faxes," then right-click on the printer (Brother MFC-J475DW Printer),
    then select the Ports page, there's a check mark next to USB001 (not LPT1 or COM1). When I click on the "Configure Port..." button, I get this error message:
    "An error occurred during port configuration. This operation is not supported."
    Earlier today, I got a reply from brother.com's tech support (thanks to the 1 year warranty). They said the problem is on my PC, not their printer. However, they provided links to completely uninstall the printer, then reinstall it. I did just that, but
    the problem persists. I'll download OpenOffice.org's Office Suite to see if I can print documents with their software instead of MS Word. Until then, I await any suggestions.
    I hope this info is helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
    with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

  • Does macbook come with Word already uploaded?

    and do I need to install the software that comes with it? It seems to me that it is only to be used as back-up.

    What Mort said.
    office:mac has a demo of Word on board - as does iWork (Pages and Keynote), Apple's own cheaper, more Microsoft Works effort.
    NeoOffice is the Mac-friendly version of OpenOffice and includes a suite of programs, including a Word-compatible WP. Oh, and its free, which in itself can be a worthy selling point - especially if you're happy not to further line the rather expensive pockets of Steve or Bill.
    And if you really need is a basic WP, there is also AbiWord, a free cross-platform program - but I've enjoyed less success with its creation and translation of Word documents - if that is an issue for you. But it is tiny and efficient.
    Regardless of what program you use, its worth remembering to uninstall the demos prior to installing the alternative. The demos will likely cause you problems with the full versions of office: mac and iWork thereafter, while reclaiming the lost space these take up will only make NeoOffice or AbiWord seem even more of a deal.
