Extension to generate Javadoc file in Visual Code - java

I want to create a documentation file of my code. I've added the Javadoc comment in every public method I have. If I use other IDE, probably there is a menu to generate it, but unfortunately I use Visual Code.
Is there a way to generate Javadoc file in Visual Code? I only find one extension, with 2 thousands downloads but its not working. The name is Javadoc-Generator
I have tried to run using javadoc command in terminal, but it is not recognized. Do I need to install additional file?

Well firstly thanks for the good question and now i'm going to try to help you with your problem. I searched for an plug in of Javadoc for Visual Studio which is Javadoc Tools with this plug in you can create coments just selecting where you want to make the comments, also you can export your comments and the best thing it's free. I tried this for one of my programmes and it works for me. Definitly i recommend you this, try it and i hope i helped you with your problem.
Selecting where i want to create the comments
Final result

For Javadoc-Generator. In the documentation state "This generator will use the Javadoc located in the JDK referenced in your JAVA_HOME." Make sure you have JAVA_HOME set in your Environment Variables.

NetBeans save edited .jar

I am currently using a library for "Notify My Android". The library is using an outdated URL so i tried to change it. I attached the source file and now I can edit the code. Before attaching the source file it just said "compiled code". But when i save it it does not seem to save the changes. It is still using the old URL. Also the change I made is underlined in blue. I hope somebody knows how to make the .jar to accept my changes.
Thanks in advance
it's highly discouraged to modify jars you depend on simply because if you ever want to upgrade versions you'd need to modify the new jar you are looking for.
In those situations you have these options:
if it is an open source project, contribute to the project and correct the URL
try and set the property from your code (this may not be possible in certain situations)
try and extend the class you're trying to use and set the URL on the property you need (like the previous one, it may not be possible to do this)
this should be your last resource: create your own project (from the original jar), make the changes you require, package it up and add it to you app.

javadoc is missing for visAD library functions

I've downloaded and set the javadoc in netbeans from
"http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/java-se-7-doc-download-435117.html"
But i am not getting javadoc when i press ctrl+space in all visAD library components.
So, do I need to download specific javadoc for visAD library?
And if yes then please, provide a link,I searched for it but I am not getting it.
Okay,I got that there is a separate jar file over here....
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~billh/visad.html
a link on this page.
And also we get it directly if we write "visad_doc-2.0.jar" on google.

Create shortcut in windows programmatically

Is there a way to create link in windows?
I found samples that use VBScript or one has to do download Shortcut.exe.
I need a simple solution. Is that possible?
I had the same problem, so i wrote library for parsing and creating .lnk files. It does not use VBScripts or JNI, java code only. See my Github.
Creating shortcuts: ShellLink.createLink("targetfile", "linkfile.lnk"). You can also set up most parameters of the link. See details and examples in repo.
Probably this question is not actual already, but i hope it will be helpfull for people who will find this topic in Google.
Well, I had to use Shortcut.exe to create shortcut but actually what I needed was a HardLink to a folder but Shortcut.exe would create a SoftLink.
Eventually I used junction.exe to create the HardLink.
Check this post for more information https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46885/how-to-create-symbolic-links-in-windows
I suggest you to create a shortcut manually and then copy it programatically into the desktop folder.

Is it possible to change IntelliJ's code generation template for equals() and hashCode()

Is it possible to change the code generation template for equals() and hashCode()?
I would like the generated code to use the Java 7 Objects class for theses methods.
As of release 14.1 of the Ultimate Edition it is possible to customize the Code generation template of equals()/hashCode() without the use of any third party plugin.
Press "Alt + Insert" (Generate...), choose "equals() and hashCode()" and you will be able to select one of the predefined templates or a customized template of your own.
UPDATE: have a look at the answer from #datentyp. Leaving mine for those stuck on the old versions
There are plugins to allow this.
Please have a look at this ones:
http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6875?pr=idea
http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7244?pr=idea
They are opensource so you can amend them if you need to.
Update: As of version 14.1 this is supported.
Apparently this functionality does not exist.
There is a request for it though, see: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-56007
Yes it is possible, but with some small hack. Locate your idea.jar file in app folder. Look inside and find files like:
apacheEqualsBuilder3.vm
apacheHashCodeBuilder3.vm
and other .vm files..
These template files reuse some macros from equalsHelper.vm.
Change these files inside JAR carefully as you like restart app and check result in Idea under
generate->equals() and hashCode()->Template (... three dots on the right)->read only preview on the right side.
I think installing update of Idea may overwrite this JAR with your
custom template changes.
It works! Checked in Idea 15. Enjoy. :-)

C++ or Java Library for automated code editing?

I am writing/planning to write a program that takes in a java file (or multiple java files), and edits and adds functions/classes/variables and then outputs a new java file (or multiple files).
Is there a C++ or Java library that
Can recognize and output names of classes/functions within a text file
Can recognize and output the names of the input arguments for said classes/functions
Can allow me to insert code at specific lines or within specific functions
Can search for a given variable name/value
Maintains original file formatting
I would prefer not having to manually code something to do the above, so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: I currently use Eclipse, and am unsure of how to proceed. So to further explain my question:
In eclipse, if I write a program that opens another .java file, How would I go about 'asking' eclipse to output, say, all the class names of the .java file I just opened?
Also I will explain the 'purpose' of this project to further clarify. I want to write a program that can take in any java file, and turn it into a class that can implemented remotely via RMI. To do this I will need to add an execute() function, have the file implement Task and Serializable and add a few variables, etc... Based on my knowledge, doing this in Eclipse would require manual editing of the program, but I would like to completely automate this process.
Thank you, again.
Much of what you need can be found in a modern IDE; and some very good IDEs are open source (eclipse and Intellij IDEA Community Edition for Java). You might look there to see if there are modules that suite your needs.
Looks like you are talking of a tool like eclipse. You might not be looking for a full fledged IDE, but the requirements that you have mentioned are fulfilled by any basic IDE.
If you wish to make one of your own, you can do that using eclipse rich client platform.
All that you would need from Java is the reflection API.
