It has nothing to do with Netbeans. I suspect you are looking at the source code in one case and the output of Javadoc in the other case. Newlines are not significant in HTML: ergo the output will not show them. If you want a newline use a <p> or a <br>.
You do it just like any other variable you would javadoc. /** * Colors that can be used */ public enum Color { /** * Red color */ red, /** * Blue color */ blue } EDIT: From Paŭlo Ebermann : The enum is a separate class. You can’t include its full documentation in the … Read more
I don’t know of any support, but, I would fully javadoc the method with the most arguments, and then refer to it in other javadoc like so. I think it’s sufficiently clear, and avoids redundancy. /** * {@code fruitType} defaults to {@link FruitType#Banana}. * * @see Forest#addTree(int, Fruit, int) */
You can include private members while generating Javadocs (using -private) and then use @link to link to that fields property. public class SomeDomainClass { /** * The name of bla bla bla */ private String name; /** * {@link SomeDomainClass#name} */ public String getName() { return name; } } Alternatively, if you do not want … Read more
The problem is Android Studio does not automatically update the source link of reference even when the documentation is already downloaded. The default link in jdk.table.xml is http://developer.android.com/reference/ (android studio tries to connect to this online server even if the network is blocked). To solve the problem, we can just redirect the reference to local … Read more
First of all, you should remove the original eclipse template because it is just noisy junk. Either put meaningful docs in or don’t put anything at all. But useless restating of the obvious using IDE templates just clutters the code. Second, if you are required to produce javadoc, then you have to make the comment … Read more
One more option, not exactly what you asked, but can be useful: Go to Settings -> Editor -> File and code templates -> Includes tab (on the right). There is a template header for the new files, you can use the username here: /** * @author myname */ For system username use: /** * @author … Read more
The syntax is fine, both the following work within a class (and there’s no reason to link to a private field from a different class): public class Demo { private int num = 0; /** * Access field {@link Demo#num} / {@link #num} … */ private void foo() { … } … When generating the … Read more
For methods that are implementation only (not overrides), sure, why not, especially if they are public. If you have an overriding situation and you are going to replicate any text, then definitely not. Replication is a surefire way of causing discrepancies. As a result, users would have a different understanding of your method based on … Read more
Do you mean {@value #STATIC_FIELD}?
