Netbeans javadoc problem! Help please

[WACman]

Hey,

My favourite thing about Netbeans is its easy access to javadocs and its auto-fill features using javadocs.

Now I have a package which is structured in folders eg....
Filters/src/com/....
etc and other subfolders, not just what I have put above.


I need javadocs for this package I downloaded of the net.
The java files in this have javadoc style comments on them. but what I downloaded has no html files .

Can someone tell me how to extract all these javadocs from these folders so I can use them on netbeans.

Thanks in advance,

what you mean by extract?

You've html files, make a zip package of them and use it.

I know how to add zip packages to netbeans, how do i make a zip package of the html javadoc files FROM the java package (which has NO html files)

thanks

You mean that you want to create java docs for your own application (java classes) ?

[WACman]

These java classes, are not my classes, they are a library i found online. There is java doc comments on all the .java files.

So YES i want to be able to create javadoc from this :)

and the purpose is so that I can use the shortcut CTRL+space and the autocomplete feature to look at java docs while im coding on netbeans.


ps this library i found online has a online version of its javadocs but I cant add that to netbeans... well i dont know how

thanks

So if you've java classes through the command line or through the NetBeans you can create javadocs.

Load all your classes into a NetBeans project. Right click on the project and click Generate Javadoc. That's all.
