Question

I am trying to generate java documentation for multiple packages so I have a single index.html, I can generate them fine for single packages by writing,

 javadoc packages/mypackage1/program/*.java

but I can’t get it to work for multiple packages. I tried using javadoc @packages but I get

error - cannot read packages <access is denied>

Any ideas would be great!!

Answer 1

javadoc -d [DESTINATION_FOLDER] -sourcepath [SOURCE_FOLDER] -subpackages [PACKAGE1]:[PACKAGE2]

For example, if your hierarchy is:

• /home/my_project/src/com/foo/Class1.java
• /home/my_project/src/fr/foo/Class2.java

Then your command line will look like:

javadoc -d [DESTINATION_FOLDER] -sourcepath /home/my_project/src -subpackages com:fr
