This allows wildcards to be used to choose between package names, reducing verbosity and management costs over time. This task, however, has no notion of "changed" files, unlike the <a href="javac.html">javac</a> task. This means all packages will be processed each time this task is run. In general, however, this task is used much less frequently.</p> <p>NOTE: since javadoc calls System.exit(), javadoc cannot be run inside the same VM as Ant without breaking functionality. For this reason, this task always forks the VM. This overhead is not significant since javadoc is normally a heavy application and will be called infrequently.</p> <p>NOTE: the packagelist attribute allows you to specify the list of packages to document outside of the Ant file. It's a much better practice to include everything inside the <code>build.xml</code> file. This option was added in order to make it easier to migrate from regular makefiles, where you would use this option of javadoc. The packages listed in packagelist are not checked, so the task performs even if some packages are missing or broken. Use this option if you wish to convert from an existing makefile. Once things are running you should then switch to the regular notation. </p> <p><i><b>DEPRECATION:</b> the javadoc2 task simply points to the javadoc task and it's there for back compatibility reasons. Since this task will be removed in future versions, you are strongly encouraged to use <a href="javadoc.html">javadoc</a> instead.</i></p> <p>In the table below, 1.2 means available if your current Java VM is a 1.2 VM (but not 1.3 or later), 1.4+ for any VM of at least version 1.4, otherwise any VM of at least version 1.2 is acceptable. JDKs <1.4 are no longer supported. If you specify the <code>executable</code> attribute it is up to you to ensure that this command supports the attributes you wish to use.</p> <p><b>Note:</b><br>When generating the JavaDocs for classes which contains annotations you maybe get a <tt>java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.tools.javadoc.ClassDocImpl</tt>. This is due <a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6442982" target="_blank">bug-6442982</a>. The cause is that JavaDoc cannot find the implementations of used annotations. The workaround is providing the jars with these implementations (like JAXBs <tt>@XmlType</tt>, ...) to <javadoc> using <tt>classpath</tt>, <tt>classpathref</tt> attributes or nested <classpath> element.</p> <p><b>Note:</b> many problems with running javadoc stem from command lines that have become too long - even though the error message doesn't give the slightest hint this may be the problem. If you encounter problems with the task, try to set the <code>useexternalfile</code> attribute to <code>true</code> first.</p> <p>If you use multiple ways to specify where javadoc should be looking for sources your result will be the union of all specified documentations. If you, e.g., specify a sourcepath attribute and also a nested packageset both pointing at the same directory your excludepackagenames attribute won't have any effect unless it agrees with the exclude patterns of the packageset (and vice versa).</p> <h3>Parameters</h3> <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td valign="top"><b>Attribute</b></td> <td
