Hi I am trying to generate Javadoc for some of my classes, but I was wondering if there are any way to modify or edit the template to the Javadoc. Also I am not using any IDE, I am using command line to generate the Javadoc
Also is there any way to generate just the className.html and stylesheet.css only?
because it generates all these other files I don't need and it just looks messy.
It will be easier when you use an IDE
You can use Eclipse IDE to generate Java Doc.
You can change templates too.
And you can modify the Java Doc Style too.

I am using Eclipse to build a small Java project. I am wanting to include in my Java documentation the project overview, this is so that the index page contains information about the project title, its purpose etc.
I know that I can include an ovwerview.html page in my project and have done.
As per the Java Documentation, I have also read that I need to use an -overview option to activate the merging of my overview.html into the index page for the Java Doc:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/javadoc.html#CHDGDJAH
However, I do not know how to use this. On the third page of Eclipse's JavaDoc wizard is the option to include VM options and so I entred -overview "src/overview.html", but this had no effect. I tried just -overview "overview.html" but this had no effect either.
How do I do this?
In Eclipse JavaDoc wizard, you should have an "overview" field on the top of the third page.
If so, you should be able to manually select it and then generate the javadoc.
If not, consider updating your JavaDoc plugin for Eclipse, if possible.
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.
When you start Eclipse up you have a few programs (not sure what to call them) at the bottom like Javadoc, Console, Declaration etc.
I want to know what Javadoc does because I don't really understand how it works.
I have searched online but it does not make much sense to me as I am a beginner.
Javadoc is a documentation tool which defines a standard format for such comments, and which can generate HTML files to view the documentation from a web broswer. You can generate JavaDoc in Eclipse or NetBeans IDE in order to read it via your browser.
Check the official documentation of Oracle: Java SE Overview
As others have written: javadoc is the standard way of putting documentation into your source code (for later processing).
That javadoc view within eclipse simply displays the javadoc of the element that you currently select within the Java editor.
So: just put some javadoc before your class and before some methods and experiment with what that view is showing you.
The JavaDoc is a tool to create a documentation. In combination with the Java annotations and Java Doc-Comments you can create your own documentation for your code.
Java Doc-Comments:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javadoc
The Java-Doc Tool in Eclipse can create a good looking documentation like the normal Java utils doc. This -> https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/
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. :-)
I work on an open source project that is hosted on google code. I'm using ant to create javadocs and I'd like to have links to the source files. I understand I can use the linksource flag to javadoc to include the source in the resulting html, but this isn't what I really want. What I'd prefer is to provide a link to the source file in google code's svn browser. I suppose I could do a simple filter prior to running javadoc, but it'd be even better if I could figure a way to do this right in javadoc. Ideally, I could have a property in my ant properties file like
base.src.url=http://code.google.com/p/myproject/source/browse/branches/1.2
and the javadoc command would add a line to each class's html file:
see source on google code
Any ideas?
The standard doclet offers no such option, as far as I know. So it looks you either have to
use an alternative doclet,
patch the standard doclet,
preprocess the Java files or
postprocess the produced HTML.
A feature request to include this in the standard doclet might also be a good idea.
