How would I export all my javadoc comments into a HTML pages similar to:
http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/index.html
or
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/ArrayList.html
This link
should be what you need. It covers how to generate JavaDoc HTML in Nebeans and Eclipse.
easy way... I would go with maven javadoc plugin.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/
It's easy to do so with NetBeans. Right click on your project in the projects panel, click on Generate JavaDoc. If there's no error in your code, it will generate an HTML documentation automatically for your project and you're gonna find it, usually, in the dist folder of your project. I didn't check for Eclipse, but it must be a similar process in Eclipse, with one or clicks you generate your javadoc.
Update: Eclipse method: Select Project –> Generate JavaDoc

Is it possible to search for a bit of text through the source code of all the maven dependencies of a project?
For example: If you import the following sample maven project: https://github.com/ajorpheus/javadoc-mem-test/tree/search-in-jars, searching for tempHeaders should turn up AbstractClientHttpRequest.java as a search result.
Is there a plugin that allows one to do this?
If Intellij does not support this, would you know of an IDE-agnostic way to do this given a maven project? I have looked at tools like jarexplorer but they don't seem to do the job.
I found how to do this !
Use the 'Project and Libraries' Custom Scope.
in IntelliJ IDEA 2018, you can do this: ctrl+shift+f
thanks #Ashutosh Jindal
If I understand your requirement correctly, what you are trying to do is possible.
First in the Maven pane you need right click on dependencies and select 'Download Sources'.
Once that is done, follow Ashutosh Jindal instructions to search in your code and the dependencies code.
I have faced the same problem. There is two way to search in Intellij.
1. Ctrl + shift + F
2. navigate - > search everywhere or use Ctrl + N
To search in external libraries , you have to make sure they are downloaded first in your system then only you can search anything among them.
For IntelliJ 2020 go to the main menu, select Navigate | Search Everywhere or press Shift twice to open the search window.
For more information check here:

First you need to download the source from maven tool bar
I want to see source for particular class. For example, now I work with JUnit and in code have this line:
Result result = JUnitCore.runClasses(MyClassTest.class);
I want to see how is implemented Result class. Is it possible?
I imported JUnit jar into build path.
I am using Eclipse 3.6 Helios.
You need to attach source of the corresponding library.
Download Junit's source zip ( from their release site, corresponding to the JUNIT you are using) - example link
Then follow these steps in IBM's link on the topic - with steps
Once you do that, Ctrl + click on the class you interested in - while you are in the editor, you will see its source.
Multiple ways:
download the sources and add them to the project build path
use maven and set it to download sources
use a decompiler - for example JD-Eclipse
right click the class you want to see its implementation in eclipse, and click "Open Declaration F3"
How can I add JavaDoc or other document to netbeans ?
I try with this way :
Tools >> Java Platform >> JavaDoc Tab >> JavaDoc.zip (in my desktop)
but in editor when I press Ctrl+Space in tooltiptext this message shown :
Javadoc not found. Either Javadoc documentation for this item does not exist or you have not added specified Javadoc in the Java Platform Manager or the Library Manager.
I tried restarting NetBeans but this was the result:
try this in NetBeans IDE
Choose Tools > Java Platform Manager from the main window.
Select the platform to which you want to add Javadoc in the left panel of the dialog box.
In the Javadoc tab, click Add ZIP/Folder and specify the location of the Javadoc files.
Click Close.
Hope this helps.
If you are using maven in your project then follow below steps to attach Java docs for your attached libraries.
Right click on "Dependencies" folder of your project.
Then choose "Download javadoc" option
It will download javadoc of your libraries and attached it.
Now when you will press ctl + space then you will see docs for that library.
and If you want to add javadoc for particular library then follow the options as suggested by Himanshu Soni.
You can't usually just add the javadoc zip as a separate library (at least this hasn't worked for me in the past.) In the libraries section you need to select the library you want to add the Javadoc for and then add the Javadoc jar for that specific library.
Restart Netbeans then that should work. Though of course if there really is no Javadoc for that method you still won't get any (I've fallen into that trap a couple of times before!)
You followed the very right procedure, I've been threw this right before I write this answer, and as for this is the first result that shows up when you Google the problem, I think that many people will find it handy and save their time, the solutions is:
UNZIP the JavaDoc.zip file that you are referring to ( which is supposed to be jdk-7u4-apidocs.zip for JavaSE 7 docs) and repeat the same procedure, which is Tools --> Java Platforms --> Javadoc ( tab ) then press " Add Zip/Folder, and point to the unzipped folder instead of the zipped one, restart NetBeans, and it will work smooth and direct.
You should download the docs file from the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/java-se-7-doc-download-435117.html
After completing the described operation, you will have your javadocs available offline, and you don't need to be connected to the internet to know about APIs.
Best regards brother.
"Tools >> Java Platform >> JavaDoc Tab >> JavaDoc.zip"
The problem with above step can be solved easily by moving down following two path already added in content panel as shown below.
Step 1-
Goto: Tools >> Java Platform >> JavaDoc Tab
and Add ZIP/Folder you want to add.
Step 2-
Step 3-
That's all and if zip file doesn't works the extract first and then add it.
I had the same problem, and I solved it by removing all URLs and adding only the apidocs.zip downloaded from oracle. After that restart your NetBeans.
Before test whether it works be sure the method you are looking for actually exists within the apidocs. Open index.html and make a search for that particular package.class.method you need.
If it doesn't work, try to manually copy the apidoc.zip to the docs directory of netBeans:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\docs and then retry.
this help me:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqJavaDoc#Adding_the_JDK_Javadoc_to_the_NetBeans_IDE
try it, maybe help
Using a Maven project inside of Netbeans v8.02.
First, view your project via the Projects window;
Expand your project's Dependencies folder
Right-click the desired *.jar file
Click download javadoc
Done!
This worked for me, I manually copy the apidoc.zip to the docs directory of netBeans: C:\Program Files\NetBeans 7.1.2\java\docs and then restart my netbeans.
Anyone know of a product similar to GhostDoc for the NetBeans IDE?
The Netbeans built in Javadoc functions do some of this. Right click on a java file and select tools then analyze javadoc. This will check, fix, and add Javadoc comments with tags.
Did the Netbeans plugin portal turn up anything ?
Triemax Jalopy can do some of that, along with wicked cool code formatting.
I am looking for a utility that will suck in an ant build file and present a graphical display of the targets and properties available to that target. Please don't respond with 'VisualAnt' I own it and it sucks.
I use yWorks Ant Explorer. It runs as a stand alone app. It's pretty good. Apparently there is an Eclipse plugin as well but I haven't been able to locate that.
It's free. Not sure if yWorks still develops it. You can download the jar here and here. After download, just create a bat file with this command:
java -jar antexplorer.jar
Look at Elements of Ant Style wiki page. They have a link there for a XSLT style sheet that makes a build file browsable. Here is a link for it. The wiki page also shows how to use it.
Linguine Maps is maybe an option.
