I don’t think it’s possible to make a usable Javadoc with MarkDown. The best solution is probably to commit the Javadoc you generated on the gh-pages branch (or in the docs/ directory depending on the settings of your GitHub project). It will be available at : http://username.github.io/projectname Here is an example from one of my … Read more
Package-level javadoc comments are placed in a file named package-info.java inside the package directory. It contains the comment and a package declaration: /** * Provides the classes necessary to create an applet and the classes an applet uses * to communicate with its applet context. * <p> * The applet framework involves two entities: * … Read more
Use hashes instead of dots, as in: @see B#methodB()
To answer the first part of your question, you do have to separate each enum value with a comma. As far as I know, there’s no way around that. Personally I don’t have a problem with the code the way you’ve presented it. Seems like a perfectly reasonable way to document an enum to me.
Use the @link inline tag, and refer to the method with a leading #. /** * … * This method is similar to {@link #contains()}, with the following differences: * … */ public boolean containsSame(); /** * This method does … */ public boolean contains(); This example only works if there is actually a contains() … Read more
There is none, they’re synonyms. From the docs: Documenting Exceptions with @throws Tag NOTE – The tags @throws and @exception are synonyms.
For Android gradle plugin 1.1.2+ (com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.2+) libraryVariants – does not work anymore use: task javadoc(type: Javadoc) { source = android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs classpath += project.files(android.getBootClasspath().join(File.pathSeparator)) destinationDir = file(“../javadoc/”) failOnError false } destinationDir = file(“../javadoc/”) – locate javadocs at root of project directory (in this way jenkins javadoc plugin could find it and show in special Document panel) … Read more
Javadoc looks for comments that start with /**. By tradition, method comments that are not intended to be part of the java docs start with “/* (non-Javadoc)” (at least when your dev environment is Eclipse). As an aside, avoid using multi-line comments inside methods. For example, avoid this: public void iterateEdges() { int i = … Read more
As far as I know, there isn’t any dedicated Javadoc tag for notes or remarks. Generally, the first sentence of Javadoc should give a brief description of the class/method/field. Then the full description should follow. And if you want to include any notes, a specialized paragraph with a “Note:” prepended should suffice. /** * Brief … Read more
mkdir and mkdirs return false if the directory already exists, so that might be one reason for the failure. If you are using Java 7, you can use the Files class. It throws an IOException on error with pretty good descriptions. Files.createDirectory(file.toPath());
