Name
       javadoc - The Java API Documentation Generator

       Generates  HTML pages of API documentation from Java source files. This
       document contains Javadoc examples for Solaris.

SYNOPSIS
       javadoc [ options ] [ packagenames ] [ sourcefilenames ] [ -subpack-
       ages pkg1:pkg2:... ] [ @argfiles ]

       Arguments  can  be  in  any  order.  See processing of Source Files for
       details on how the Javadoc  tool	 determines  which  ".java"  files  to
       process.

	  options
	     Command-line  options,  as	 specified  in this document. To see a
	     typical use of javadoc options, see Real-World Example.

	  packagenames
	     A series of names of  packages,  separated	 by  spaces,  such  as
	     java.lang java.lang.reflect java.awt. You must separately specify
	     each package you want to document. Wildcards are not allowed; use
	     -subpackages  for recursion. The Javadoc tool uses -sourcepath to
	     look for these package names. See Example -  Documenting  One  or
	     More Packages

	  sourcefilenames
	     A series of source file names, separated by spaces, each of which
	     can begin with a path and contain a  wildcard  such  as  asterisk
	     (*).  The	Javadoc	 tool  will process every file whose name ends
	     with ".java", and whose name, when stripped of  that  suffix,  is
	     actually  a  legal	 class	name (see the Java Language Specifica-
	     tion). Therefore, you can name files with dashes (such as	X-Buf-
	     fer),  or	other  illegal	characters, to prevent them from being
	     documented. This is useful for test files and template files  The
	     path  that precedes the source file name determines where javadoc
	     will look for the file. (The Javadoc tool	does  not  use	-sour-
	     cepath  to	 look for these source file names.) Relative paths are
	     relative to the current directory, so passing in  Button.java  is
	     identical	to  ./Button.java. A source file name with an absolute
	     path and a wildcard, for  example,	 is  /home/src/java/awt/Graph-
	     ics*.java. See Example - Documenting One or More Classes. You can
	     also mix packagenames and sourcefilenames, as in  Example - Docu-
	     menting Both Packages and Classes

	  -subpackages pkg1:pkg2:...
	     Generates	documentation from source files in the specified pack-
	     ages and recursively in their subpackages. An alternative to sup-
	     plying packagenames or sourcefilenames.

	  @argfiles
	     One  or more files that contain a list of Javadoc options, packa-
	     genames and sourcefilenames in any order. Wildcards  (*)  and  -J
	     options are not allowed in these files.

DESCRIPTION
       The  Javadoc tool parses the declarations and documentation comments in
       a set of Java source files and produces a  corresponding	 set  of  HTML
       pages  describing (by default) the public and protected classes, nested
       classes (but not anonymous inner	 classes),  interfaces,	 constructors,
       methods,	 and  fields.  You can use it to generate the API (Application
       Programming Interface) documentation or the  implementation  documenta-
       tion for a set of source files.

       You  can	 run  the  Javadoc  tool on entire packages, individual source
       files, or both. When documenting entire packages, you  can  either  use
       -subpackages  for  traversing  recursively down from a top-level direc-
       tory, or pass in an explicit list of package  names.  When  documenting
       individual  source  files,  you	pass in a list of source (.java) file-
       names. Examples are given at the end of this document. How Javadoc pro-
       cesses source files is covered next.

   Processing of source files
       The  Javadoc  tool processes files that end in ".java" plus other files
       described under Source Files. If you run the Javadoc tool by explicitly
       passing in individual source filenames, you can determine exactly which
       ".java" files are processed. However, that is not how  most  developers
       want  to	 work,	as it is simpler to pass in package names. The Javadoc
       tool can be run three ways without  explicitly  specifying  the	source
       filenames. You can (1) pass in package names, (2) use -subpackages, and
       (3) use wildcards with source filenames (*.java). In these  cases,  the
       Javadoc	tool  processes	 a ".java" file only if it fulfills all of the
       following requirements:

	  o Its name, after stripping off the ".java" suffix,  is  actually  a
	    legal  class  name	(see the Java Language Specification for legal
	    characters)

	  o Its directory path relative to the root  of	 the  source  tree  is
	    actually  a legal package name (after converting its separators to
	    dots)

	  o Its package statement contains the legal package  name  (specified
	    in the previous bullet)

       Processing of links - During a run, the Javadoc tool automatically adds
       cross-reference links to package, class and member names that are being
       documented as part of that run. Links appear in several places:

	  o Declarations (return types, argument types, field types)

	  o "See Also" sections generated from @see tags

	  o In-line text generated from {@link} tags

	  o Exception names generated from @throws tags

	  o "Specified	by"  links  to	members	 in interfaces and "Overrides"
	    links to members in classes

	  o Summary tables listing packages, classes and members

	  o Package and class inheritance trees

	  o The index

       You can add hyperlinks to existing text for classes not included on the
       command	line  (but  generated  separately)  by	way  of	 the -link and
       -linkoffline options.

       Other processing details - The Javadoc tool produces one complete docu-
       ment  each  time it is run; it cannot do incremental builds -- that is,
       it cannot modify or directly incorporate results from previous runs  of
       the  Javadoc  tool. However, it can link to results from other runs, as
       just mentioned.

       As implemented, the Javadoc tool requires and relies on the  java  com-
       piler  to  do  its job. The Javadoc tool calls part of javac to compile
       the declarations, ignoring the member implementation. It builds a  rich
       internal	 representation of the classes, including the class hierarchy,
       and "use" relationships, then generates the HTML from that. The Javadoc
       tool  also picks up user-supplied documentation from documentation com-
       ments in the source code.

       In fact, the Javadoc tool will run on .java source files that are  pure
       stub  files  with no method bodies. This means you can write documenta-
       tion comments and run the Javadoc tool in the earliest stages of design
       while creating the API, before writing the implementation.

       Relying	on  the	 compiler  ensures  that  the  HTML output corresponds
       exactly with the actual implementation, which  may  rely	 on  implicit,
       rather  than explicit, source code. For example, the Javadoc tool docu-
       ments default constructors (see Java Language Specification)  that  are
       present in the .class files but not in the source code.

       In  many	 cases,	 the Javadoc tool allows you to generate documentation
       for source files whose code is incomplete or erroneous. This is a bene-
       fit that enables you to generate documentation before all debugging and
       troubleshooting is done. For example, according to  the	Java  Language
       Specification,  a  class that contains an abstract method should itself
       be declared abstract. The Javadoc tool does not	check  for  this,  and
       would  proceed  without	a warning, whereas the javac compiler stops on
       this error. The Javadoc tool does do some  primitive  checking  of  doc
       comments.  Use the DocCheck doclet to check the doc comments more thor-
       oughly.

       When the Javadoc tool builds its internal structure for the  documenta-
       tion,  it  loads	 all  referenced classes. Because of this, the Javadoc
       tool must be able to find all  referenced  classes,  whether  bootstrap
       classes, extensions, or user classes. For more about this, see How
       Classes Are Found @
       http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/finding-
       classes.html. Generally speaking, classes you create must either be
       loaded as an extension or in the Javadoc tool's class path.

   Javadoc Doclets
       You can customize the content and format of the Javadoc tool's output
       by using doclets. The Javadoc tool has a default "built-in" doclet,
       called the standard doclet, that generates HTML-formatted API documen-
       tation. You can modify or subclass the standard doclet, or write your
       own doclet to generate HTML, XML, MIF, RTF or whatever output format
       you'd like. Information about doclets and their use is at the following
       locations:

	  o Javadoc Doclets @
	    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/tech-
	    notes/guides/javadoc/index.html

	  o The -doclet command-line option

       When a custom doclet is not specified with the -doclet command line
       option, the Javadoc tool will use the default standard doclet. The
       javadoc tool has several command line options that are available
       regardless of which doclet is being used. The standard doclet adds a
       supplementary set of command line options. Both sets of options are
       described below in the options section.

   Terminology
       The terms documentation comment, doc comment, main description, tag,
       block tag, and in-line tag are described at Documentation Comments.
       These other terms have specific meanings within the context of the
       Javadoc tool:

	  generated document
	     The document generated by the javadoc tool from the doc comments
	     in Java source code. The default generated document is in HTML
	     and is created by the standard doclet.

	  name
	     A name of a program element written in the Java Language -- that
	     is, the name of a package, class, interface, field, constructor
	     or method. A name can be fully-qualified, such as
	     java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object), or partially-quali-
	     fied, such as equals(Object).

	  documented classes
	     The classes and interfaces for which detailed documentation is
	     generated during a javadoc run. To be documented, the source
	     files must be available, their source filenames or package names
	     must be passed into the javadoc command, and they must not be
	     filtered out by their access modifier (public, protected, pack-
	     age-private or private). We also refer to these as the classes
	     included in the javadoc output, or the included classes.

	  included classes
	     Classes and interfaces whose details are documented during a run
	     of the Javadoc tool. Same as documented classes.

	  excluded classes
	     Classes and interfaces whose details are not documented during a
	     run of the Javadoc tool.

	  referenced classes
	     The classes and interfaces that are explicitly referred to in the
	     definition (implementation) or doc comments of the documented
	     classes and interfaces. Examples of references include return
	     type, parameter type, cast type, extended class, implemented
	     interface, imported classes, classes used in method bodies, @see,
	     {@link}, {@linkplain}, and {@inheritDoc} tags. (Notice this defi-
	     nition has changed since 1.3 @
	     http://docs.ora-
	     cle.com/javase/1.3/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javadoc.html#referenced-
	     classes.) When the Javadoc tool is run, it should load into mem-
	     ory all of the referenced classes in javadoc's bootclasspath and
	     classpath. (The Javadoc tool prints a "Class not found" warning
	     for referenced classes not found.) The Javadoc tool can derive
	     enough information from the .class files to determine their exis-
	     tence and the fully-qualified names of their members.

	  external referenced classes
	     The referenced classes whose documentation is not being generated
	     during a javadoc run. In other words, these classes are not
	     passed into the Javadoc tool on the command line. Links in the
	     generated documentation to those classes are said to be external
	     references or external links. For example, if you run the Javadoc
	     tool on only the java.awt package, then any class in java.lang,
	     such as Object, is an external referenced class. External refer-
	     enced classes can be linked to using the -link and -linkoffline
	     options. An important property of an external referenced class is
	     that its source comments are normally not available to the
	     Javadoc run. In this case, these comments cannot be inherited.

SOURCE FILES
       The Javadoc tool will generate output originating from four different
       types of "source" files: Java language source files for classes
       (.java), package comment files, overview comment files, and miscella-
       neous unprocessed files. This section also covers test files and tem-
       plate files that can also be in the source tree, but which you want to
       be sure not to document.

   Class Source Code Files
       Each class or interface and its members can have their own documenta-
       tion comments, contained in a .java file. For more details about these
       doc comments, see Documentation Comments.

   Package Comment Files
       Each package can have its own documentation comment, contained in its
       own "source" file, that the Javadoc tool will merge into the package
       summary page that it generates. You typically include in this comment
       any documentation that applies to the entire package.

       To create a package comment file, you have a choice of two files to
       place your comments:

	  o package-info.java - Can contain a package declaration, package
	    annotations, package comments and Javadoc tags. This file is gen-
	    erally preferred over package.html.

	  o package.html - Can contain only package comments and Javadoc tags,
	    no package annotations.

       A package may have a single package.html file or a single pack-
       age-info.java file but not both. Place either file in the package
       directory in the source tree along with your .java files.

       package-info.java - This file can contain a package comment of the fol-
       lowing structure -- the comment is placed before the package declara-
       tion:

       File: java/applet/package-info.java
       /**
	* Provides the classes necessary to create an
	* applet and the classes an applet uses
	* to communicate with its applet context.
	* <p>
	* The applet framework involves two entities:
	* the applet and the applet context.
	* An applet is an embeddable window (see the
	* {@link java.awt.Panel} class) with a few extra
	* methods that the applet context can use to
	* initialize, start, and stop the applet.
	*
	* @since 1.0
	* @see java.awt
	*/
       package java.lang.applet;

       Note that while the comment separators /** and /* must be present, the
       leading asterisks on the intermediate lines can be omitted.

       package.html - This file can contain a package comment of the following
       structure -- the comment is placed in the <body> element:

       File: java/applet/package.html
       <HTML>
       <BODY>
       Provides the classes necessary to create an applet and the
       classes an applet uses to communicate with its applet context.
       <p>
       The applet framework involves two entities: the applet
       and the applet context. An applet is an embeddable
       window (see the {@link java.awt.Panel} class) with a
       few extra methods that the applet context can use to
       initialize, start, and stop the applet.

       @since 1.0
       @see java.awt
       </BODY>
       </HTML>

       Notice this is just a normal HTML file and does not include a package
       declaration. The content of the package comment file is written in
       HTML, like all other comments, with one exception: The documentation
       comment should not include the comment separators /** and */ or leading
       asterisks. When writing the comment, you should make the first sentence
       a summary about the package, and not put a title or any other text
       between <body> and the first sentence. You can include package tags; as
       with any documentation comment, all block tags must appear after the
       main description. If you add a @see tag in a package comment file, it
       must have a fully-qualified name. For more details, see the example of
       package.html @
       http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
       tion/index-137868.html#packagecomments.

       Processing of package comment file - When the Javadoc tool runs, it
       will automatically look for the package comment file; if found, the
       Javadoc tool does the following:

	  o Copies the comment for processing. (For package.html, copies all
	    content between <body> and </body> HTML tags. You can include a
	    <head> section to put a <title>, source file copyright statement,
	    or other information, but none of these will appear in the gener-
	    ated documentation.)

	  o Processes any package tags that are present.

	  o Inserts the processed text at the bottom of the package summary
	    page it generates, as shown in Package Summary @
	    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/applet/package-sum-
	    mary.html.

	  o Copies the first sentence of the package comment to the top of the
	    package summary page. It also adds the package name and this first
	    sentence to the list of packages on the overview page, as shown in
	    Overview Summary @
	    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/overview-summary.html.
	    The end-of-sentence is determined by the same rules used for the
	    end of the first sentence of class and member main descriptions.

   Overview Comment File
       Each application or set of packages that you are documenting can have
       its own overview documentation comment, kept in its own "source" file,
       that the Javadoc tool will merge into the overview page that it gener-
       ates. You typically include in this comment any documentation that
       applies to the entire application or set of packages.

       To create an overview comment file, you can name the file anything you
       want, typically overview.html and place it anywhere, typically at the
       top level of the source tree. For example, if the source files for the
       java.applet package are contained in /home/user/src/java/applet direc-
       tory, you could create an overview comment file at /home/user/src/over-
       view.html.

       Notice you can have multiple overview comment files for the same set of
       source files, in case you want to run javadoc multiple times on differ-
       ent sets of packages. For example, you could run javadoc once with
       -private for internal documentation and again without that option for
       public documentation. In this case, you could describe the documenta-
       tion as public or internal in the first sentence of each overview com-
       ment file.

       The content of the overview comment file is one big documentation com-
       ment, written in HTML, like the package comment file described previ-
       ously. See that description for details. To re-iterate, when writing
       the comment, you should make the first sentence a summary about the
       application or set of packages, and not put a title or any other text
       between <body> and the first sentence. You can include overview tags;
       as with any documentation comment, all tags except in-line tags, such
       as {@link}, must appear after the main description. If you add a @see
       tag, it must have a fully-qualified name.

       When you run the Javadoc tool, you specify the overview comment file
       name with the -overview option. The file is then processed similar to
       that of a package comment file.

	  o Copies all content between <body> and </body> tags for processing.

	  o Processes any overview tags that are present.

	  o Inserts the processed text at the bottom of the overview page it
	    generates, as shown in Overview Summary @
	    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/overview-summary.html.

	  o Copies the first sentence of the overview comment to the top of
	    the overview summary page.

   Miscellaneous Unprocessed Files
       You can also include in your source any miscellaneous files that you
       want the Javadoc tool to copy to the destination directory. These typi-
       cally includes graphic files, example Java source (.java) and class
       (.class) files, and self-standing HTML files whose content would over-
       whelm the documentation comment of a normal Java source file.

       To include unprocessed files, put them in a directory called doc-files
       which can be a subdirectory of any package directory that contains
       source files. You can have one such subdirectory for each package. You
       might include images, example code, source files, .class files, applets
       and HTML files. For example, if you want to include the image of a but-
       ton button.gif in the java.awt.Button class documentation, you place
       that file in the /home/user/src/java/awt/doc-files/ directory. Notice
       the doc-files directory should not be located at
       /home/user/src/java/doc-files because java is not a package -- that is,
       it does not directly contain any source files.

       All links to these unprocessed files must be hard-coded, because the
       Javadoc tool does not look at the files -- it simply copies the direc-
       tory and all its contents to the destination. For example, the link in
       the Button.java doc comment might look like:
	   /**
	    * This button looks like this:
	    * <img src="doc-files/Button.gif">
	    */

   Test Files and Template Files
       Some developers have indicated they want to store test files and tem-
       plates files in the source tree near their corresponding source files.
       That is, they would like to put them in the same directory, or a subdi-
       rectory, of those source files.

       If you run the Javadoc tool by explicitly passing in individual source
       filenames, you can deliberately omit test and templates files and pre-
       vent them from being processed. However, if you are passing in package
       names or wildcards, you need to follow certain rules to ensure these
       test files and templates files are not processed.

       Test files differ from template files in that the former are legal,
       compilable source files, while the latter are not, but may end with
       ".java".

       Test files - Often developers want to put compilable, runnable test
       files for a given package in the same directory as the source files for
       that package. But they want the test files to belong to a package other
       than the source file package, such as the unnamed package (so the test
       files have no package statement or a different package statement from
       the source). In this scenario, when the source is being documented by
       specifying its package name specified on the command line, the test
       files will cause warnings or errors. You need to put such test files in
       a subdirectory. For example, if you want to add test files for source
       files in com.package1, put them in a subdirectory that would be an
       invalid package name (because it contains a hyphen):
	   com/package1/test-files/

       The test directory will be skipped by the Javadoc tool with no warn-
       ings.

       If your test files contain doc comments, you can set up a separate run
       of the Javadoc tool to produce documentation of the test files by pass-
       ing in their test source filenames with wildcards, such as com/pack-
       age1/test-files/*.java.

       Templates for source files - Template files have names that often end
       in ".java" and are not compilable. If you have a template for a source
       file that you want to keep in the source directory, you can name it
       with a dash (such as Buffer-Template.java), or any other illegal Java
       character, to prevent it from being processed. This relies on the fact
       that the Javadoc tool will only process source files whose name, when
       stripped of the ".java" suffix, is actually a legal class name (see
       information about Identifiers in the Java Language Specification).

GENERATED FILES
       By default, javadoc uses a standard doclet that generates HTML-format-
       ted documentation. This doclet generates the following kinds of files
       (where each HTML "page" corresponds to a separate file). Note that
       javadoc generates files with two types of names: those named after
       classes/interfaces, and those that are not (such as package-sum-
       mary.html). Files in the latter group contain hyphens to prevent file-
       name conflicts with those in the former group.

       Basic Content Pages

	  o One class or interface page (classname.html) for each class or
	    interface it is documenting.

	  o One package page (package-summary.html) for each package it is
	    documenting. The Javadoc tool will include any HTML text provided
	    in a file named package.html or package-info.java in the package
	    directory of the source tree.

	  o One overview page (overview-summary.html) for the entire set of
	    packages. This is the front page of the generated document. The
	    Javadoc tool will include any HTML text provided in a file speci-
	    fied with the -overview option. Note that this file is created
	    only if you pass into javadoc two or more package names. For fur-
	    ther explanation, see HTML Frames.)

       Cross-Reference Pages

	  o One class hierarchy page for the entire set of packages (over-
	    view-tree.html). To view this, click on "Overview" in the naviga-
	    tion bar, then click on "Tree".

	  o One class hierarchy page for each package (package-tree.html) To
	    view this, go to a particular package, class or interface page;
	    click "Tree" to display the hierarchy for that package.

	  o One "use" page for each package (package-use.html) and a separate
	    one for each class and interface (class-use/classname.html). This
	    page describes what packages, classes, methods, constructors and
	    fields use any part of the given class, interface or package.
	    Given a class or interface A, its "use" page includes subclasses
	    of A, fields declared as A, methods that return A, and methods and
	    constructors with parameters of type A. You can access this page
	    by first going to the package, class or interface, then clicking
	    on the "Use" link in the navigation bar.

	  o A deprecated API page (deprecated-list.html) listing all depre-
	    cated names. (A deprecated name is not recommended for use, gener-
	    ally due to improvements, and a replacement name is usually given.
	    Deprecated APIs may be removed in future implementations.)

	  o A constant field values page (constant-values.html) for the values
	    of static fields.

	  o A serialized form page (serialized-form.html) for information
	    about serializable and externalizable classes. Each such class has
	    a description of its serialization fields and methods. This infor-
	    mation is of interest to re-implementors, not to developers using
	    the API. While there is no link in the navigation bar, you can get
	    to this information by going to any serialized class and clicking
	    "Serialized Form" in the "See also" section of the class comment.
	    The standard doclet automatically generates a serialized form
	    page: any class (public or non-public) that implements Serializ-
	    able is included, along with readObject and writeObject methods,
	    the fields that are serialized, and the doc comments from the
	    @serial, @serialField, and @serialData tags. Public serializable
	    classes can be excluded by marking them (or their package) with
	    @serial exclude, and package-private serializable classes can be
	    included by marking them (or their package) with @serial include.
	    As of 1.4, you can generate the complete serialized form for pub-
	    lic and private classes by running javadoc without specifying the
	    -private option.

	  o An index (index-*.html) of all class, interface, constructor,
	    field and method names, alphabetically arranged. This is interna-
	    tionalized for Unicode and can be generated as a single file or as
	    a separate file for each starting character (such as A-Z for Eng-
	    lish).

       Support Files

	  o A help page (help-doc.html) that describes the navigation bar and
	    the above pages. You can provide your own custom help file to
	    override the default using -helpfile.

	  o One index.html file which creates the HTML frames for display.
	    This is the file you load to display the front page with frames.
	    This file itself contains no text content.

	  o Several frame files (*-frame.html) containing lists of packages,
	    classes and interfaces, used when HTML frames are being displayed.

	  o A package list file (package-list), used by the -link and -linkof-
	    fline options. This is a text file, not HTML, and is not reachable
	    through any links.

	  o A style sheet file (stylesheet.css) that controls a limited amount
	    of color, font family, font size, font style and positioning on
	    the generated pages.

	  o A doc-files directory that holds any image, example, source code
	    or other files that you want copied to the destination directory.
	    These files are not processed by the Javadoc tool in any manner --
	    that is, any javadoc tags in them will be ignored. This directory
	    is not generated unless it exists in the source tree.

       HTML Frames

       The Javadoc tool will generate either two or three HTML frames, as
       shown in the figure below. It creates the minimum necessary number of
       frames by omitting the list of packages if there is only one package
       (or no packages). That is, when you pass a single package name or
       source files (*.java) belonging to a single package as arguments into
       the javadoc command, it will create only one frame (C) in the left-hand
       column -- the list of classes. When you pass into javadoc two or more
       package names, it creates a third frame (P) listing all packages, as
       well as an overview page (Detail). This overview page has the filename
       overview-summary.html. Thus, this file is created only if you pass in
       two or more package names. You can bypass frames by clicking on the "No
       Frames" link or entering at overview-summary.html.

       If you are unfamiliar with HTML frames, you should be aware that frames
       can have focus for printing and scrolling. To give a frame focus, click
       on it. Then on many browsers the arrow keys and page keys will scroll
       that frame, and the print menu command will print it.

       Load one of the following two files as the starting page depending on
       whether you want HTML frames or not:

	  o index.html (for frames)

	  o overview-summary.html (for no frames)

       Generated File Structure

       The generated class and interface files are organized in the same
       directory hierarchy that Java source files and class files are orga-
       nized. This structure is one directory per subpackage.

       For example, the document generated for the class java.applet.Applet
       class would be located at java/applet/Applet.html. The file structure
       for the java.applet package follows, given that the destination direc-
       tory is named apidocs. All files that contain the word "frame" appear
       in the upper-left or lower-left frames, as noted. All other HTML files
       appear in the right-hand frame.

       NOTE - Directories are shown in bold. The asterisks (*) indicate the
       files and directories that are omitted when the arguments to javadoc
       are source filenames (*.java) rather than package names. Also when
       arguments are source filenames, package-list is created but is empty.
       The doc-files directory will not be created in the destination unless
       it exists in the source tree.

   Generated API Declarations
       The Javadoc tool generates a declaration at the start of each class,
       interface, field, constructor, and method description for that API
       item. For example, the declaration for the Boolean class is:

       public final class Boolean
       extends Object
       implements Serializable

       and the declaration for the Boolean.valueOfmethod is:

       public static Boolean valueOf(String s)

       The Javadoc tool can include the modifiers public, protected, private,
       abstract, final, static, transient, and volatile, but not synchronized
       or native. These last two modifiers are considered implementation
       detail and not part of the API specification.

       Rather than relying on the keyword synchronized, APIs should document
       their concurrency semantics in the comment's main description, as in "a
       single Enumeration cannot be used by multiple threads concurrently".
       The document should not describe how to achieve these semantics. As
       another example, while Hashtable should be thread-safe, there's no rea-
       son to specify that we achieve this by synchronizing all of its
       exported methods. We should reserve the right to synchronize internally
       at the bucket level, thus offering higher concurrency.

DOCUMENTATION COMMENTS
       The original "Documentation Comment Specification" can be found under
       related documentation.

   Commenting the Source Code
       You can include documentation comments ("doc comments") in the source
       code, ahead of declarations for any class, interface, method, construc-
       tor, or field. You can also create doc comments for each package and
       another one for the overview, though their syntax is slightly differ-
       ent. Doc comments are also known informally as "Javadoc comments" (but
       this term violates its trademark usage). A doc comment consists of the
       characters between the characters /** that begin the comment and the
       characters */ that end it. Leading asterisks are allowed on each line
       and are described further below. The text in a comment can continue
       onto multiple lines.
       /**
	* This is the typical format of a simple documentation comment
	* that spans two lines.
	*/

       To save space you can put a comment on one line:
       /** This comment takes up only one line. */

       Placement of comments - Documentation comments are recognized only when
       placed immediately before class, interface, constructor, method, or
       field declarations -- see the class example, method example, and field
       example. Documentation comments placed in the body of a method are
       ignored. Only one documentation comment per declaration statement is
       recognized by the Javadoc tool.

       A common mistake is to put an import statement between the class com-
       ment and the class declaration. Avoid this, as the Javadoc tool will
       ignore the class comment.
	  /**
	   * This is the class comment for the class Whatever.
	   */

	   import com.sun;   // MISTAKE - Important not to put import statement here

	   public class Whatever {
	   }

       A doc comment is composed of a main description followed by a tag sec-
       tion - The main description begins after the starting delimiter /** and
       continues until the tag section. The tag section starts with the first
       block tag, which is defined by the first @ character that begins a line
       (ignoring leading asterisks, white space, and leading separator /**).
       It is possible to have a comment with only a tag section and no main
       description. The main description cannot continue after the tag section
       begins. The argument to a tag can span multiple lines. There can be any
       number of tags -- some types of tags can be repeated while others can-
       not. For example, this @see starts the tag section:
       /**
	* This sentence would hold the main description for this doc comment.
	* @see java.lang.Object
	*/

       Block tags and in-line tags - A tag is a special keyword within a doc
       comment that the Javadoc tool can process. There are two kinds of tags:
       block tags, which appear as @tag (also known as "standalone tags"), and
       in-line tags, which appear within curly braces, as {@tag}. To be inter-
       preted, a block tag must appear at the beginning of a line, ignoring
       leading asterisks, white space, and separator (/**). This means you can
       use the @ character elsewhere in the text and it will not be inter-
       preted as the start of a tag. If you want to start a line with the @
       character and not have it be interpreted, use the HTML entity &#064;.
       Each block tag has associated text, which includes any text following
       the tag up to, but not including, either the next tag, or the end of
       the doc comment. This associated text can span multiple lines. An
       in-line tag is allowed and interpreted anywhere that text is allowed.
       The following example contains the block tag @deprecated and in-line
       tag {@link}.
       /**
	* @deprecated  As of JDK 1.1, replaced by {@link #setBounds(int,int,int,int)}
	*/

       Comments are written in HTML - The text must be written in HTML, in
       that they should use HTML entities and can use HTML tags. You can use
       whichever version of HTML your browser supports; we have written the
       standard doclet to generate HTML 3.2-compliant code elsewhere (outside
       of the documentation comments) with the inclusion of cascading style
       sheets and frames. (We preface each generated file with "HTML 4.0"
       because of the frame sets.)

       For example, entities for the less-than (<) and greater-than (>) sym-
       bols should be written < and >. Likewise, the ampersand (&) should be
       written &. The bold HTML tag <b> is shown in the following example.

       Here is a doc comment:
       /**
	* This is a <b>doc</b> comment.
	* @see java.lang.Object
	*/

       Leading asterisks - When javadoc parses a doc comment, leading asterisk
       (*) characters on each line are discarded; blanks and tabs preceding
       the initial asterisk (*) characters are also discarded. Starting with
       1.4, if you omit the leading asterisk on a line, the leading white
       space is no longer removed. This enables you to paste code examples
       directly into a doc comment inside a <PRE> tag, and its indentation
       will be honored. Spaces are generally interpreted by browsers more uni-
       formly than tabs. Indentation is relative to the left margin (rather
       than the separator /** or <PRE> tag).

       First sentence - The first sentence of each doc comment should be a
       summary sentence, containing a concise but complete description of the
       declared entity. This sentence ends at the first period that is fol-
       lowed by a blank, tab, or line terminator, or at the first block tag.
       The Javadoc tool copies this first sentence to the member summary at
       the top of the HTML page.

       Declaration with multiple fields - Java allows declaring multiple
       fields in a single statement, but this statement can have only one doc-
       umentation comment, which is copied for all fields. Therefore if you
       want individual documentation comments for each field, you must declare
       each field in a separate statement. For example, the following documen-
       tation comment doesn't make sense written as a single declaration and
       would be better handled as two declarations:
       /**
	* The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x,y)
	*/
       public int x, y;	     // Avoid this

       The Javadoc tool generates the following documentation from the above
       code:
       public int x
	  The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x,y)
       public int y
	  The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x,y)

       Use header tags carefully - When writing documentation comments for
       members, it's best not to use HTML heading tags such as <H1> and <H2>,
       because the Javadoc tool creates an entire structured document and
       these structural tags might interfere with the formatting of the gener-
       ated document. However, it is fine to use these headings in class and
       package comments to provide your own structure.

   Automatic Copying of Method Comments
       The Javadoc tool has the ability to copy or "inherit" method comments
       in classes and interfaces under the following two circumstances. Con-
       structors, fields and nested classes do not inherit doc comments.

	  o Automatically inherit comment to fill in missing text - When a
	    main description, or @return, @param or @throws  tag is missing
	    from a method comment, the Javadoc tool copies the corresponding
	    main description or tag comment from the method it overrides or
	    implements (if any), according to the algorithm below.

	  More specifically, when a @param tag for a particular parameter is
	  missing, then the comment for that parameter is copied from the
	  method further up the inheritance hierarchy. When a @throws tag for
	  a particular exception is missing, the @throws tag is copied only if
	  that exception is declared.

	  This behavior contrasts with version 1.3 and earlier, where the
	  presence of any main description or tag would prevent all comments
	  from being inherited.

	  o Explicitly inherit comment with {@inheritDoc} tag - Insert the
	    inline tag {@inheritDoc} in a method main description or @return,
	    @param or @throws tag comment -- the corresponding inherited main
	    description or tag comment is copied into that spot.

       The source file for the inherited method need only be on the path spec-
       ified by -sourcepath for the doc comment to actually be available to
       copy. Neither the class nor its package needs to be passed in on the
       command line. This contrasts with 1.3.x and earlier releases, where the
       class had to be a documented class

       Inherit from classes and interfaces - Inheriting of comments occurs in
       all three possible cases of inheritance from classes and interfaces:

	  o When a method in a class overrides a method in a superclass

	  o When a method in an interface overrides a method in a superinter-
	    face

	  o When a method in a class implements a method in an interface

       In the first two cases, for method overrides, the Javadoc tool gener-
       ates a subheading "Overrides" in the documentation for the overriding
       method, with a link to the method it is overriding, whether or not the
       comment is inherited.

       In the third case, when a method in a given class implements a method
       in an interface, the Javadoc tool generates a subheading "Specified by"
       in the documentation for the overriding method, with a link to the
       method it is implementing. This happens whether or not the comment is
       inherited.

       Algorithm for Inheriting Method Comments - If a method does not have a
       doc comment, or has an {@inheritDoc} tag, the Javadoc tool searches for
       an applicable comment using the following algorithm, which is designed
       to find the most specific applicable doc comment, giving preference to
       interfaces over superclasses:

	  1. Look in each directly implemented (or extended) interface in the
	     order they appear following the word implements (or extends) in
	     the method declaration. Use the first doc comment found for this
	     method.

	  2. If step 1 failed to find a doc comment, recursively apply this
	     entire algorithm to each directly implemented (or extended)
	     interface, in the same order they were examined in step 1.

	  3. If step 2 failed to find a doc comment and this is a class other
	     than Object (not an interface):

	     a. If the superclass has a doc comment for this method, use it.

	     b. If step 3a failed to find a doc comment, recursively apply
		this entire algorithm to the superclass.

JAVADOC TAGS
       The Javadoc tool parses special tags when they are embedded within a
       Java doc comment. These doc tags enable you to autogenerate a complete,
       well-formatted API from your source code. The tags start with an "at"
       sign (@) and are case-sensitive -- they must be typed with the upper-
       case and lowercase letters as shown. A tag must start at the beginning
       of a line (after any leading spaces and an optional asterisk) or it is
       treated as normal text. By convention, tags with the same name are
       grouped together. For example, put all @see tags together.

       Tags come in two types:

	  o Block tags - Can be placed only in the tag section that follows
	    the main description. Block tags are of the form: @tag.

	  o Inline tags - Can be placed anywhere in the main description or in
	    the comments for block tags. Inline tags are denoted by curly
	    braces: {@tag}.

       For information about tags we might introduce in future releases, see
       Proposed Tags @
       http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/proposed-tags.html.

       The current tags are:

       For custom tags, see the -tag option.

	  @author  name-text
	     Adds an "Author" entry with the specified name-text to the gener-
	     ated docs when the -author option is used. A doc comment may con-
	     tain multiple @author tags. You can specify one name per @author
	     tag or multiple names per tag. In the former case, the Javadoc
	     tool inserts a comma (,) and space between names. In the latter
	     case, the entire text is simply copied to the generated document
	     without being parsed. Therefore, you can use multiple names per
	     line if you want a localized name separator other than comma.

       For more details, see Where Tags Can Be Used and writing @author tags @
       http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
       tion/index-137868.html#@author.

	  @deprecated  deprecated-text Note: You can deprecate a program ele-
	  ment using the @Deprecated annotation.

       Adds a comment indicating that this API should no longer be used (even
       though it may continue to work). The Javadoc tool moves the depre-
       cated-text ahead of the main description, placing it in italics and
       preceding it with a bold warning: "Deprecated". This tag is valid in
       all doc comments: overview, package, class, interface, constructor,
       method and field.

       The first sentence of deprecated-text should at least tell the user
       when the API was deprecated and what to use as a replacement. The
       Javadoc tool copies just the first sentence to the summary section and
       index. Subsequent sentences can also explain why it has been depre-
       cated. You should include a {@link} tag (for Javadoc 1.2 or later) that
       points to the replacement API:

       For more details, see writing @deprecated tags @
       http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
       tion/index-137868.html#@deprecated.

	  o For Javadoc 1.2 and later, use a {@link} tag. This creates the
	    link in-line, where you want it. For example:
	    /**
	     * @deprecated  As of JDK 1.1, replaced by {@link #setBounds(int,int,int,int)}
	     */


	  o For Javadoc 1.1, the standard format is to create a @see tag
	    (which cannot be in-line) for each @deprecated tag.

       For more about deprecation, see The @deprecated tag @
       http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/depreca-
       tion/index.html.

	  {@code  text}
	     Equivalent to <code>{@literal}</code>.

	  Displays text in code font without interpreting the text as HTML
	  markup or nested javadoc tags. This enables you to use regular angle
	  brackets (< and >) instead of the HTML entities (< and >) in doc
	  comments, such as in parameter types (<Object>), inequalities (3 <
	  4), or arrows (<-). For example, the doc comment text:
	       {@code A<B>C}


	  displays in the generated HTML page unchanged, as:
	       A<B>C


	  The noteworthy point is that the <B> is not interpreted as bold and
	  is in code font.

	  If you want the same functionality without the code font, use {@lit-
	  eral}.

	  {@docRoot}
	     Represents the relative path to the generated document's (desti-
	     nation) root directory from any generated page. It is useful when
	     you want to include a file, such as a copyright page or company
	     logo, that you want to reference from all generated pages. Link-
	     ing to the copyright page from the bottom of each page is common.

	  This {@docRoot} tag can be used both on the command line and in a
	  doc comment: This tag is valid in all doc comments: overview, pack-
	  age, class, interface, constructor, method and field, including the
	  text portion of any tag (such as @return, @param and @deprecated).

	     1. On the command line, where the header/footer/bottom are
		defined:
		   javadoc -bottom '<a href="{@docRoot}/copyright.html">Copyright</a>'


	     NOTE - When using {@docRoot} this way in a make file, some make-
	     file programs require special escaping for the brace {} charac-
	     ters. For example, the Inprise MAKE version 5.2 running on Win-
	     dows requires double braces: {{@docRoot}}. It also requires dou-
	     ble (rather than single) quotes to enclose arguments to options
	     such as -bottom (with the quotes around the href argument omit-
	     ted).

	     2. In a doc comment:
		   /**
		    * See the <a href="{@docRoot}/copyright.html">Copyright</a>.
		    */


	  The reason this tag is needed is because the generated docs are in
	  hierarchical directories, as deep as the number of subpackages. This
	  expression:
	    <a href="{@docRoot}/copyright.html">


	  would resolve to:
	    <a href="../../copyright.html">	 for java/lang/Object.java


	  and
	    <a href="../../../copyright.html">	 for java/lang/ref/Reference.java


	  @exception  class-name  description
	     The @exception tag is a synonym for @throws.

	  {@inheritDoc}
	     Inherits (copies) documentation from the "nearest" inheritable
	     class or implementable interface into the current doc comment at
	     this tag's location. This allows you to write more general com-
	     ments higher up the inheritance tree, and to write around the
	     copied text.

	  This tag is valid only in these places in a doc comment:

	     o In the main description block of a method. In this case, the
	       main description is copied from a class or interface up the
	       hierarchy.

	     o In the text arguments of the @return, @param and @throws tags
	       of a method. In this case, the tag text is copied from the cor-
	       responding tag up the hierarchy.

	  See Automatic Copying of Method Comments for a more precise descrip-
	  tion of how comments are found in the inheritance hierarchy. Note
	  that if this tag is missing, the comment is or is not automatically
	  inherited according to rules described in that section.

	  {@link  package.class#member	label}
	     Inserts an in-line link with visible text label that points to
	     the documentation for the specified package, class or member name
	     of a referenced class. This tag is valid in all doc comments:
	     overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method and
	     field, including the text portion of any tag (such as @return,
	     @param and @deprecated).

	  This tag is very simliar to @see -- both require the same references
	  and accept exactly the same syntax for package.class#member and
	  label. The main difference is that {@link} generates an in-line link
	  rather than placing the link in the "See Also" section. Also, the
	  {@link} tag begins and ends with curly braces to separate it from
	  the rest of the in-line text. If you need to use "}" inside the
	  label, use the HTML entity notation &#125;

	  There is no limit to the number of {@link} tags allowed in a sen-
	  tence. You can use this tag in the main description part of any doc-
	  umentation comment or in the text portion of any tag (such as @dep-
	  recated, @return or @param).

	  For example, here is a comment that refers to the getComponen-
	  tAt(int, int) method:
	  Use the {@link #getComponentAt(int, int) getComponentAt} method.


	  From this, the standard doclet would generate the following HTML
	  (assuming it refers to another class in the same package):
	  Use the <a href="Component.html#getComponentAt(int, int)">getComponentAt</a> method.


	  Which appears on the web page as:
	  Use the getComponentAt method.


	  You can extend {@link} to link to classes not being documented by
	  using the -link option.

	  For more details, see writing {@link} tags @
	  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
	  tion/index-137868.html#{@link}.

	  {@linkplain  package.class#member  label}
	     Identical to {@link}, except the link's label is displayed in
	     plain text than code font. Useful when the label is plain text.
	     Example:
		  Refer to {@linkplain add() the overridden method}.


	  This would display as:

	  Refer to the overridden method.

	  {@literal  text}
	     Displays text without interpreting the text as HTML markup or
	     nested javadoc tags. This enables you to use regular angle brack-
	     ets (< and >) instead of the HTML entities (< and >) in doc com-
	     ments, such as in parameter types (<Object>), inequalities (3 <
	     4), or arrows (<-). For example, the doc comment text:
		  {@literal A<B>C}


	  displays unchanged in the generated HTML page in your browser, as:

	       A<B>C

	  The noteworthy point is that the <B> is not interpreted as bold (and
	  it is not in code font).

	  If you want the same functionality but with the text in code font,
	  use {@code}.

	  @param  parameter-name description
	     Adds a parameter with the specified parameter-name followed by
	     the specified description to the "Parameters" section. When writ-
	     ing the doc comment, you may continue the description onto multi-
	     ple lines. This tag is valid only in a doc comment for a method,
	     constructor or class.

	  The parameter-name can be the name of a parameter in a method or
	  constructor, or the name of a type parameter of a class, method or
	  constructor. Use angle brackets around this parameter name to spec-
	  ify the use of a type parameter.

	  Example of a type parameter of a class:
	       /**
		* @param <E> Type of element stored in a list
		*/
	       public interface List<E> extends Collection<E> {
	       }


	  Example of a type parameter of a method:
	       /**
		* @param string	 the string to be converted
		* @param type	 the type to convert the string to
		* @param <T>	 the type of the element
		* @param <V>	 the value of the element
		*/
	       <T, V extends T> V convert(String string, Class<T> type) {
	       }


	  For more details, see writing @param tags @
	  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
	  tion/index-137868.html#@param.

	  @return  description
	     Adds a "Returns" section with the description text. This text
	     should describe the return type and permissible range of values.
	     This tag is valid only in a doc comment for a method.

	  For more details, see writing @return tags @
	  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
	  tion/index-137868.html#@return.

	  @see	reference
	     Adds a "See Also" heading with a link or text entry that points
	     to reference. A doc comment may contain any number of @see tags,
	     which are all grouped under the same heading. The @see tag has
	     three variations; the third form below is the most common. This
	     tag is valid in any doc comment: overview, package, class, inter-
	     face, constructor, method or field. For inserting an in-line link
	     within a sentence to a package, class or member, see {@link}.

	     @see "string"
		Adds a text entry for string. No link is generated. The string
		is a book or other reference to information not available by
		URL. The Javadoc tool distinguishes this from the previous
		cases by looking for a double-quote (") as the first charac-
		ter. For example:
		     @see "The Java Programming Language"


	     This generates text such as:

		   See Also:
		      "The Java Programming Language"

	     @see <a href="URL#value">label</a>
		Adds a link as defined by URL#value. The URL#value is a rela-
		tive or absolute URL. The Javadoc tool distinguishes this from
		other cases by looking for a less-than symbol (<) as the first
		character. For example:
		     @see <a href="spec.html#section">Java Spec</a>
		This generates a link such as:

		See Also:
		   Java Spec

	     @see  package.class#member	 label
		Adds a link, with visible text label, that points to the docu-
		mentation for the specified name in the Java Language that is
		referenced. The label is optional; if omitted, the name
		appears instead as the visible text, suitably shortened -- see
		How a name is displayed. Use -noqualifier to globally remove
		the package name from this visible text. Use the label when
		you want the visible text to be different from the auto-gener-
		ated visible text.

	     Only in version 1.2, just the name but not the label would auto-
	     matically appear in <code> HTML tags, Starting with 1.2.2, the
	     <code> is always included around the visible text, whether or not
	     a label is used.

		o package.class#member is any valid program element name that
		  is referenced -- a package, class, interface, constructor,
		  method or field name -- except that the character ahead of
		  the member name should be a hash character (#). The class
		  represents any top-level or nested class or interface. The
		  member represents any constructor, method or field (not a
		  nested class or interface). If this name is in the docu-
		  mented classes, the Javadoc tool will automatically create a
		  link to it. To create links to external referenced classes,
		  use the -link option. Use either of the other two @see forms
		  for referring to documentation of a name that does not
		  belong to a referenced class. This argument is described at
		  greater length below under Specifying a Name.

		o label is optional text that is visible as the link's label.
		  The label can contain whitespace. If label is omitted, then
		  package.class.member will appear, suitably shortened rela-
		  tive to the current class and package -- see How a name is
		  displayed.

		o A space is the delimiter between package.class#member and
		  label. A space inside parentheses does not indicate the
		  start of a label, so spaces may be used between parameters
		  in a method.

	     Example - In this example, an @see tag (in the Character class)
	     refers to the equals method in the String class. The tag includes
	     both arguments: the name "String#equals(Object)" and the label
	     "equals".
	      /**
	       * @see String#equals(Object) equals
	       */
	     The standard doclet produces HTML something like this:
	     <dl>
	     <dt><b>See Also:</b>
	     <dd><a href="../../java/lang/String#equals(java.lang.Object)"><code>equals<code></a>
	     </dl>
	     Which looks something like this in a browser, where the label is
	     the visible link text:

		See Also:
		   equals

	     Specifying a name - This package.class#member name can be either
	     fully-qualified, such as java.lang.String#toUpperCase() or not,
	     such as String#toUpperCase() or #toUpperCase(). If less than
	     fully-qualified, the Javadoc tool uses the normal Java compiler
	     search order to find it, further described below in Search order
	     for @see. The name can contain whitespace within parentheses,
	     such as between method arguments.

	     Of course the advantage of providing shorter, "partially-quali-
	     fied" names is that they are shorter to type and there is less
	     clutter in the source code. The following table shows the differ-
	     ent forms of the name, where Class can be a class or interface,
	     Type can be a class, interface, array, or primitive, and method
	     can be a method or constructor.

	     The following notes apply to the above table:

		o The first set of forms (with no class or package) will cause
		  the Javadoc tool to search only through the current class's
		  hierarchy. It will find a member of the current class or
		  interface, one of its superclasses or superinterfaces, or
		  one of its enclosing classes or interfaces (search steps
		  1-3). It will not search the rest of the current package or
		  other packages (search steps 4-5).

		o If any method or constructor is entered as a name with no
		  parentheses, such as getValue, and if there is no field with
		  the same name, the Javadoc tool will correctly create a link
		  to it, but will print a warning message reminding you to add
		  the parentheses and arguments. If this method is overloaded,
		  the Javadoc tool will link to the first method its search
		  encounters, which is unspecified.

		o Nested classes must be specified as outer.inner, not simply
		  inner, for all forms.

		o As stated, the hash character (#), rather than a dot (.)
		  separates a member from its class. This enables the Javadoc
		  tool to resolve ambiguities, since the dot also separates
		  classes, nested classes, packages, and subpackages. However,
		  the Javadoc tool is generally lenient and will properly
		  parse a dot if you know there is no ambiguity, though it
		  will print a warning.

	     Search order for @see - the Javadoc tool will process a @see tag
	     that appears in a source file (.java), package file (package.html
	     or package-info.java) or overview file (overview.html). In the
	     latter two files, you must fully-qualify the name you supply with
	     @see. In a source file, you can specify a name that is
	     fully-qualified or partially-qualified.

	     When the Javadoc tool encounters a @see tag in a .java file that
	     is not fully qualified, it searches for the specified name in the
	     same order as the Java compiler would (except the Javadoc tool
	     will not detect certain namespace ambiguities, since it assumes
	     the source code is free of these errors). This search order is
	     formally defined in the Java Language Specification. The Javadoc
	     tool searches for that name through all related and imported
	     classes and packages. In particular, it searches in this order:

		1. the current class or interface

		2. any enclosing classes and interfaces, searching closest
		   first

		3. any superclasses and superinterfaces, searching closest
		   first

		4. the current package

		5. any imported packages, classes and interfaces, searching in
		   the order of the import statement

	     The Javadoc tool continues to search recursively through steps
	     1-3 for each class it encounters until it finds a match. That is,
	     after it searches through the current class and its enclosing
	     class E, it will search through E's superclasses before E's
	     enclosing classes.	 In steps 4 and 5, the Javadoc tool does not
	     search classes or interfaces within a package in any specified
	     order (that order depends on the particular compiler). In step 5,
	     the Javadoc tool looks in java.lang, since that is automatically
	     imported by all programs.

	     The Javadoc tool does not necessarily look in subclasses, nor
	     will it look in other packages even if their documentation is
	     being generated in the same run. For example, if the @see tag is
	     in the java.awt.event.KeyEvent class and refers to a name in the
	     java.awt package, javadoc does not look in that package unless
	     that class imports it.

	     How a name is displayed - If label is omitted, then pack-
	     age.class.member appears. In general, it is suitably shortened
	     relative to the current class and package. By "shortened", we
	     mean the Javadoc tool displays only the minimum name necessary.
	     For example, if the String.toUpperCase() method contains refer-
	     ences to a member of the same class and to a member of a differ-
	     ent class, the class name is displayed only in the latter case,
	     as shown in the following table.

	     Use -noqualifier to globally remove the package names.

	     Examples of @see
	     The comment to the right shows how the name would be displayed if
	     the @see tag is in a class in another package, such as
	     java.applet.Applet.

	  @serial  field-description | include | exclude
	     Used in the doc comment for a default serializable field.

	  An optional field-description should explain the meaning of the
	  field and list the acceptable values. If needed, the description can
	  span multiple lines. The standard doclet adds this information to
	  the serialized form page.

	  If a serializable field was added to a class some time after the
	  class was made serializable, a statement should be added to its main
	  description to identify at which version it was added.

	  The include and exclude arguments identify whether a class or pack-
	  age should be included or excluded from the serialized form page.
	  They work as follows:

	     o A public or protected class that implements Serializable is
	       included unless that class (or its package) is marked @serial
	       exclude.

	     o A private or package-private class that implements Serializable
	       is excluded unless that class (or its package) is marked
	       @serial include.

	  Examples: The javax.swing package is marked @serial exclude (in
	  package.html or package-info.java). The public class java.secu-
	  rity.BasicPermission is marked @serial exclude. The package-private
	  class java.util.PropertyPermissionCollection is marked @serial
	  include.

	  The tag @serial at a class level overrides @serial at a package
	  level.

	  For more information about how to use these tags, along with an
	  example, see " Documenting Serializable Fields and Data for a Class
	  @
	  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/platform/serializa-
	  tion/spec/serial-arch.html," Section 1.6 of the Java Object Serial-
	  ization Specification. Also see the Serialization FAQ @
	  http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/core/basic/serialization-
	  FAQ.jsp#javadoc_warn_missing, which covers common questions, such as
	  "Why do I see javadoc warnings stating that I am missing @serial
	  tags for private fields if I am not running javadoc with the -pri-
	  vate switch?". Also see Sun's criteria @
	  http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/writingapispecs/serialized-crite-
	  ria.html for including classes in the serialized form specification.

	  @serialField	field-name  field-type	field-description
	     Documents an ObjectStreamField component of a Serializable
	     class's serialPersistentFields member. One @serialField tag
	     should be used for each ObjectStreamField component.

	  @serialData  data-description
	     The data-description documents the types and order of data in the
	     serialized form. Specifically, this data includes the optional
	     data written by the writeObject method and all data (including
	     base classes) written by the Externalizable.writeExternal method.

	  The @serialData tag can be used in the doc comment for the writeOb-
	  ject, readObject, writeExternal, readExternal, writeReplace, and
	  readResolve methods.

	  @since  since-text
	     Adds a "Since" heading with the specified since-text to the gen-
	     erated documentation. The text has no special internal structure.
	     This tag is valid in any doc comment: overview, package, class,
	     interface, constructor, method or field. This tag means that this
	     change or feature has existed since the software release speci-
	     fied by the since-text. For example:
		 @since 1.5


	  For source code in the Java platform, this tag indicates the version
	  of the Java platform API specification (not necessarily when it was
	  added to the reference implementation). Multiple @since tags are
	  allowed and are treated like multiple @author tags. You could use
	  multiple tags if the prgram element is used by more than one API.

	  @throws  class-name  description
	     The @throws and @exception tags are synonyms. Adds a "Throws"
	     subheading to the generated documentation, with the class-name
	     and description text. The class-name is the name of the exception
	     that may be thrown by the method. This tag is valid only in the
	     doc comment for a method or constructor. If this class is not
	     fully-specified, the Javadoc tool uses the search order to look
	     up this class. Multiple @throws tags can be used in a given doc
	     comment for the same or different exceptions.

	  To ensure that all checked exceptions are documented, if a @throws
	  tag does not exist for an exception in the throws clause, the
	  Javadoc tool automatically adds that exception to the HTML output
	  (with no description) as if it were documented with @throws tag.

	  The @throws documentation is copied from an overridden method to a
	  subclass only when the exception is explicitly declared in the over-
	  ridden method. The same is true for copying from an interface method
	  to an implementing method. You can use {@inheritDoc} to force
	  @throws to inherit documentation.

	  For more details, see writing @throws tags @
	  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
	  tion/index-137868.html#@exception.

	  {@value  package.class#field}
	     When {@value} is used (without any argument) in the doc comment
	     of a static field, it displays the value of that constant:
		 /**
		  * The value of this constant is {@value}.
		  */
		 public static final String SCRIPT_START = "<script>"


	  When used with argument package.class#field in any doc comment, it
	  displays the value of the specified constant:
	      /**
	       * Evaluates the script starting with {@value #SCRIPT_START}.
	       */
	      public String evalScript(String script) {
	      }


	  The argument package.class#field takes a form identical to that of
	  the @see argument, except that the member must be a static field.

	  These values of these constants are also displayed on the Constant
	  Field Values @
	  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/constant-values.html page.

	  @version  version-text
	     Adds a "Version" subheading with the specified version-text to
	     the generated docs when the -version option is used. This tag is
	     intended to hold the current version number of the software that
	     this code is part of (as opposed to @since, which holds the ver-
	     sion number where this code was introduced). The version-text has
	     no special internal structure. To see where the version tag can
	     be used, see Where Tags Can Be Used.

	  A doc comment may contain multiple @version tags. If it makes sense,
	  you can specify one version number per @version tag or multiple ver-
	  sion numbers per tag. In the former case, the Javadoc tool inserts a
	  comma (,) and space between names. In the latter case, the entire
	  text is simply copied to the generated document without being
	  parsed. Therefore, you can use multiple names per line if you want a
	  localized name separator other than comma.

	  For more details, see writing @version tags @
	  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
	  tion/index-137868.html#@version.

   Where Tags Can Be Used
       The following sections describe where the tags can be used. Note that
       these tags can be used in all doc comments: @see, @since, @deprecated,
       {@link}, {@linkplain}, and {@docroot}.

   Overview Documentation Tags
       Overview tags are tags that can appear in the documentation comment for
       the overview page (which resides in the source file typically named
       overview.html). Like in any other documentation comments, these tags
       must appear after the main description.

       NOTE - The {@link} tag has a bug in overview documents in version 1.2
       -- the text appears properly but has no link. The {@docRoot} tag does
       not currently work in overview documents.

OPTIONS
       The javadoc tool uses doclets to determine its output. The Javadoc tool
       uses the default standard doclet unless a custom doclet is specified
       with the -doclet option. The Javadoc tool provides a set of com-
       mand-line options that can be used with any doclet -- these options are
       described below under the sub-heading Javadoc Options. The standard
       doclet provides an additional set of command-line options that are
       described below under the sub-heading Options Provided by the Standard
       Doclet. All option names are case-insensitive, though their arguments
       can be case-sensitive.

       The options are:

       Options shown in italic are the Javadoc core options, which are pro-
       vided by the front end of the Javadoc tool and are available to all
       doclets. The standard doclet itself provides the non-italic options.

   Javadoc Options
	  -overview  path/filename
	     Specifies that javadoc should retrieve the text for the overview
	     documentation from the "source" file specified by path/filename
	     and place it on the Overview page (overview-summary.html). The
	     path/filename is relative to the current directory.
	     While you can use any name you want for filename and place it
	     anywhere you want for path, a typical thing to do is to name it
	     overview.html and place it in the source tree at the directory
	     that contains the topmost package directories. In this location,
	     no path is needed when documenting packages, since -sourcepath
	     will point to this file. For example, if the source tree for the
	     java.lang package is /src/classes/java/lang/, then you could
	     place the overview file at /src/classes/overview.html. See Real
	     World Example.
	     For information about the file specified by path/filename, see
	     overview comment file.
	     Note that the overview page is created only if you pass into
	     javadoc two or more package names. For further explanation, see
	     HTML Frames.)
	     The title on the overview page is set by -doctitle.

	  -public
	     Shows only public classes and members.

	  -protected
	     Shows only protected and public classes and members. This is the
	     default.

	  -package
	     Shows only package, protected, and public classes and members.

	  -private
	     Shows all classes and members.

	  -help
	     Displays the online help, which lists these javadoc and doclet
	     command line options.

	  -doclet  class
	     Specifies the class file that starts the doclet used in generat-
	     ing the documentation. Use the fully-qualified name. This doclet
	     defines the content and formats the output. If the -doclet option
	     is not used, javadoc uses the standard doclet for generating the
	     default HTML format. This class must contain the start(Root)
	     method. The path to this starting class is defined by the
	     -docletpath option.
	     For example, to call the MIF doclet, use:
		 -doclet com.sun.tools.doclets.mif.MIFDoclet
	     For full, working examples of running a particular doclet, see
	     the MIF Doclet documentation @
	     http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/mifdoclet/docs/mifdoclet.html.

	  -docletpath  classpathlist
	     Specifies the path to the doclet starting class file (specified
	     with the -doclet option) and any jar files it depends on. If the
	     starting class file is in a jar file, then this specifies the
	     path to that jar file, as shown in the example below. You can
	     specify an absolute path or a path relative to the current direc-
	     tory. If classpathlist contains multiple paths or jar files, they
	     should be separated with a colon (:) on Solaris and a semi-colon
	     (;) on Windows. This option is not necessary if the doclet start-
	     ing class is already in the search path.
	     Example of path to jar file that contains the starting doclet
	     class file. Notice the jar filename is included.
		-docletpath /home/user/mifdoclet/lib/mifdoclet.jar
	     Example of path to starting doclet class file. Notice the class
	     filename is omitted.
		-docletpath /home/user/mifdoclet/classes/com/sun/tools/doclets/mif/
	     For full, working examples of running a particular doclet, see
	     the MIF Doclet documentation @
	     http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/mifdoclet/docs/mifdoclet.html.

	  -1.1
	     This feature has been removed from Javadoc 1.4. There is no
	     replacement for it. This option created documentation with the
	     appearance and functionality of documentation generated by
	     Javadoc 1.1 (it never supported nested classes). If you need this
	     option, use Javadoc 1.2 or 1.3 instead.

	  -source release
	     Specifies the version of source code accepted. The following val-
	     ues for release are allowed:

	     o 1.5 - javadoc accepts code containing generics and other lan-
	       guage features introduced in JDK 1.5. The compiler defaults to
	       the 1.5 behavior if the -source flag is not used.

	     o 1.4 - javadoc accepts code containing assertions, which were
	       introduced in JDK 1.4.

	     o 1.3 - javadoc does not support assertions, generics, or other
	       language features introduced after JDK 1.3.
	  Use the value of release corresponding to that used when compiling
	  the code with javac.

	  -sourcepath  sourcepathlist
	     Specifies the search paths for finding source files (.java) when
	     passing package names or -subpackages into the javadoc command.
	     The sourcepathlist can contain multiple paths by separating them
	     with a colon (:). The Javadoc tool will search in all subdirecto-
	     ries of the specified paths. Note that this option is not only
	     used to locate the source files being documented, but also to
	     find source files that are not being documented but whose com-
	     ments are inherited by the source files being documented.
	     Note that you can use the -sourcepath option only when passing
	     package names into the javadoc command -- it will not locate
	     .java files passed into the javadoc command. (To locate .java
	     files, cd to that directory or include the path ahead of each
	     file, as shown at Documenting One or More Classes.) If -sour-
	     cepath is omitted, javadoc uses the class path to find the source
	     files (see -classpath). Therefore, the default -sourcepath is the
	     value of class path. If -classpath is omitted and you are passing
	     package names into javadoc, it looks in the current directory
	     (and subdirectories) for the source files.
	     Set sourcepathlist to the root directory of the source tree for
	     the package you are documenting. For example, suppose you want to
	     document a package called com.mypackage whose source files are
	     located at:
	       /home/user/src/com/mypackage/*.java
	     In this case you would specify the sourcepath to /home/user/src,
	     the directory that contains com/mypackage, and then supply the
	     package name com.mypackage:
	       % javadoc -sourcepath /home/user/src/ com.mypackage
	     This is easy to remember by noticing that if you concatenate the
	     value of sourcepath and the package name together and change the
	     dot to a slash "/", you end up with the full path to the package:
	     /home/user/src/com/mypackage.
	     To point to two source paths:
	       % javadoc -sourcepath /home/user1/src:/home/user2/src com.mypackage

	  -classpath  classpathlist
	     Specifies the paths where javadoc will look for referenced
	     classes (.class files) -- these are the documented classes plus
	     any classes referenced by those classes. The classpathlist can
	     contain multiple paths by separating them with a colon (:). The
	     Javadoc tool will search in all subdirectories of the specified
	     paths. Follow the instructions in class path @
	     http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/tech-
	     notes/tools/index.html#general documentation for specifying
	     classpathlist.
	     If -sourcepath is omitted, the Javadoc tool uses -classpath to
	     find the source files as well as class files (for backward com-
	     patibility). Therefore, if you want to search for source and
	     class files in separate paths, use both -sourcepath and -class-
	     path.
	     For example, if you want to document com.mypackage, whose source
	     files reside in the directory /home/user/src/com/mypackage, and
	     if this package relies on a library in /home/user/lib, you would
	     specify:
	       % javadoc -classpath /home/user/lib -sourcepath /home/user/src com.mypackage
	     As with other tools, if you do not specify -classpath, the
	     Javadoc tool uses the CLASSPATH environment variable, if it is
	     set. If both are not set, the Javadoc tool searches for classes
	     from the current directory.
	     For an in-depth description of how the Javadoc tool uses -class-
	     path to find user classes as it relates to extension classes and
	     bootstrap classes, see How Classes Are Found @
	     http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/finding-
	     classes.html.
	     As a special convenience, a class path element containing a base-
	     name of * is considered equivalent to specifying a list of all
	     the files in the directory with the extension .jar or .JAR (a
	     Java program cannot tell the difference between the two invoca-
	     tions).
	     For example, if directory foo contains a.jar and b.JAR, then the
	     class path element foo/* is expanded to a A.jar:b.JAR, except
	     that the order of jar files is unspecified. All jar files in the
	     specified directory, even hidden ones, are included in the list.
	     A classpath entry consisting simply of * expands to a list of all
	     the jar files in the current directory. The CLASSPATH environment
	     variable, where defined, will be similarly expanded. Any class-
	     path wildcard expansion occurs before the Java virtual machine is
	     started -- no Java program will ever see unexpanded wildcards
	     except by querying the environment. For example; by invoking Sys-
	     tem.getenv("CLASSPATH").

	  -subpackages	package1:package2:...
	     Generates documentation from source files in the specified pack-
	     ages and recursively in their subpackages. This option is useful
	     when adding new subpackages to the source code, as they are auto-
	     matically included. Each package argument is any top-level sub-
	     package (such as java) or fully qualified package (such as
	     javax.swing) that does not need to contain source files. Argu-
	     ments are separated by colons (on all operating systmes). Wild-
	     cards are not needed or allowed. Use -sourcepath to specify where
	     to find the packages. This option is smart about not processing
	     source files that are in the source tree but do not belong to the
	     packages, as described at processing of source files.
	     For example:
	       % javadoc -d docs -sourcepath /home/user/src -subpackages java:javax.swing
	     This command generates documentation for packages named "java"
	     and "javax.swing" and all their subpackages.
	     You can use -subpackages in conjunction with -exclude to exclude
	     specific packages.

	  -exclude  packagename1:packagename2:...
	     Unconditionally excludes the specified packages and their sub-
	     packages from the list formed by -subpackages. It excludes those
	     packages even if they would otherwise be included by some previ-
	     ous or later -subpackages option. For example:
	       % javadoc -sourcepath /home/user/src -subpackages java -exclude java.net:java.lang
	     would include java.io, java.util, and java.math (among others),
	     but would exclude packages rooted at java.net and java.lang.
	     Notice this excludes java.lang.ref, a subpackage of java.lang).

	  -bootclasspath  classpathlist
	     Specifies the paths where the boot classes reside. These are nom-
	     inally the Java platform classes. The bootclasspath is part of
	     the search path the Javadoc tool will use to look up source and
	     class files. See How Classes Are Found @
	     http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/finding-
	     classes.html#srcfiles. for more details. Separate directories in
	     classpathlist with colons (:).

	  -extdirs  dirlist
	     Specifies the directories where extension classes reside. These
	     are any classes that use the Java Extension mechanism. The
	     extdirs is part of the search path the Javadoc tool will use to
	     look up source and class files. See -classpath (above) for more
	     details. Separate directories in dirlist with colons (:).

	  -verbose
	     Provides more detailed messages while javadoc is running. Without
	     the verbose option, messages appear for loading the source files,
	     generating the documentation (one message per source file), and
	     sorting. The verbose option causes the printing of additional
	     messages specifying the number of milliseconds to parse each java
	     source file.

	  -quiet
	     Shuts off non-error and non-warning messages, leaving only the
	     warnings and errors appear, making them easier to view. Also sup-
	     presses the version string.

	  -breakiterator
	     Uses the internationalized sentence boundary of
	     java.text.BreakIterator @
	     http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/BreakItera-
	     tor.html to determine the end of the first sentence for English
	     (all other locales already use BreakIterator), rather than an
	     English language, locale-specific algorithm. By first sentence,
	     we mean the first sentence in the main description of a package,
	     class or member. This sentence is copied to the package, class or
	     member summary, and to the alphabetic index.
	     From JDK 1.2 forward, the BreakIterator class is already used to
	     determine the end of sentence for all languages but English.
	     Therefore, the -breakiterator option has no effect except for
	     English from 1.2 forward. English has its own default algorithm:

	     o English default sentence-break algorithm - Stops at a period
	       followed by a space or a HTML block tag, such as <P>.

	     o Breakiterator sentence-break algorithm - In general, stops at a
	       period, question mark or exclamation mark followed by a space
	       if the next word starts with a capital letter. This is meant to
	       handle most abbreviations (such as "The serial no. is valid",
	       but won't handle "Mr. Smith"). Doesn't stop at HTML tags or
	       sentences that begin with numbers or symbols. Stops at the last
	       period in "../filename", even if embedded in an HTML tag.
	  NOTE: We have removed from 1.5.0 the breakiterator warning messages
	  that were in 1.4.x and have left the default sentence-break algo-
	  rithm unchanged. That is, the -breakiterator option is not the
	  default in 1.5.0, nor do we expect it to become the default. This is
	  a reversal from our former intention that the default would change
	  in the "next major release" (1.5.0). This means if you have not mod-
	  ified your source code to eliminate the breakiterator warnings in
	  1.4.x, then you don't have to do anything, and the warnings go away
	  starting with 1.5.0. The reason for this reversal is because any
	  benefit to having breakiterator become the default would be out-
	  weighed by the incompatible source change it would require. We
	  regret any extra work and confusion this has caused.

	  -locale  language_country_variant
	     Important - The -locale option must be placed ahead (to the left)
	     of any options provided by the standard doclet or any other
	     doclet. Otherwise, the navigation bars will appear in English.
	     This is the only command-line option that is order-dependent.
	     Specifies the locale that javadoc uses when generating documenta-
	     tion. The argument is the name of the locale, as described in
	     java.util.Locale documentation, such as en_US (English, United
	     States) or en_US_WIN (Windows variant).
	     Specifying a locale causes javadoc to choose the resource files
	     of that locale for messages (strings in the navigation bar, head-
	     ings for lists and tables, help file contents, comments in
	     stylesheet.css, and so forth). It also specifies the sorting
	     order for lists sorted alphabetically, and the sentence separator
	     to determine the end of the first sentence. It does not determine
	     the locale of the doc comment text specified in the source files
	     of the documented classes.

	  -encoding  name
	     Specifies the encoding name of the source files, such as
	     EUCJIS/SJIS. If this option is not specified, the platform
	     default converter is used.
	     Also see -docencoding and -charset.

	  -Jflag
	     Passes flag directly to the runtime system java that runs
	     javadoc. Notice there must be no space between the J and the
	     flag. For example, if you need to ensure that the system sets
	     aside 32 megabytes of memory in which to process the generated
	     documentation, then you would call the -Xmx option of java as
	     follows (-Xms is optional, as it only sets the size of initial
	     memory, which is useful if you know the minimum amount of memory
	     required):
		% javadoc -J-Xmx32m -J-Xms32m com.mypackage
	     To tell what version of javadoc you are using, call the "-ver-
	     sion" option of java:
		% javadoc -J-version
		java version "1.2"
		Classic VM (build JDK-1.2-V, green threads, sunwjit)
	     (The version number of the standard doclet appears in its output
	     stream.)

   Options Provided by the Standard Doclet
	  -d  directory
	     Specifies the destination directory where javadoc saves the gen-
	     erated HTML files. (The "d" means "destination.") Omitting this
	     option causes the files to be saved to the current directory. The
	     value directory can be absolute, or relative to the current work-
	     ing directory. As of 1.4, the destination directory is automati-
	     cally created when javadoc is run.
	     For example, the following generates the documentation for the
	     package com.mypackage and saves the results in the
	     /home/user/doc/ directory:
	       % javadoc -d /home/user/doc com.mypackage

	  -use
	     Includes one "Use" page for each documented class and package.
	     The page describes what packages, classes, methods, constructors
	     and fields use any API of the given class or package. Given class
	     C, things that use class C would include subclasses of C, fields
	     declared as C, methods that return C, and methods and construc-
	     tors with parameters of type C.
	     For example, let us look at what might appear on the "Use" page
	     for String. The getName() method in the java.awt.Font class
	     returns type String. Therefore, getName() uses String, and you
	     will find that method on the "Use" page for String.
	     Note that this documents only uses of the API, not the implemen-
	     tation. If a method uses String in its implementation but does
	     not take a string as an argument or return a string, that is not
	     considered a "use" of String.
	     You can access the generated "Use" page by first going to the
	     class or package, then clicking on the "Use" link in the naviga-
	     tion bar.

	  -version
	     Includes the @version text in the generated docs. This text is
	     omitted by default. To tell what version of the Javadoc tool you
	     are using, use the -J-version option.

	  -author
	     Includes the @author text in the generated docs.

	  -splitindex
	     Splits the index file into multiple files, alphabetically, one
	     file per letter, plus a file for any index entries that start
	     with non-alphabetical characters.

	  -windowtitle	title
	     Specifies the title to be placed in the HTML <title> tag. This
	     appears in the window title and in any browser bookmarks
	     (favorite places) that someone creates for this page. This title
	     should not contain any HTML tags, as the browser will not prop-
	     erly interpret them. Any internal quotation marks within title
	     may have to be escaped. If -windowtitle is omitted, the Javadoc
	     tool uses the value of -doctitle for this option.
	       % javadoc -windowtitle "Java SE Platform" com.mypackage

	  -doctitle  title
	     Specifies the title to be placed near the top of the overview
	     summary file. The title will be placed as a centered, level-one
	     heading directly beneath the upper navigation bar. The title may
	     contain html tags and white space, though if it does, it must be
	     enclosed in quotes. Any internal quotation marks within title may
	     have to be escaped.
	       % javadoc -doctitle "Java(TM)" com.mypackage

	  -title  title
	     This option no longer exists. It existed only in Beta versions of
	     Javadoc 1.2. It has been renamed to -doctitle. This option is
	     being renamed to make it clear that it defines the document title
	     rather than the window title.

	  -header  header
	     Specifies the header text to be placed at the top of each output
	     file. The header will be placed to the right of the upper naviga-
	     tion bar. header may contain HTML tags and white space, though if
	     it does, it must be enclosed in quotes. Any internal quotation
	     marks within header may have to be escaped.
	       % javadoc -header "<b>Java 2 Platform </b><br>v1.4" com.mypackage

	  -footer  footer
	     Specifies the footer text to be placed at the bottom of each out-
	     put file. The footer will be placed to the right of the lower
	     navigation bar. footer may contain html tags and white space,
	     though if it does, it must be enclosed in quotes. Any internal
	     quotation marks within footer may have to be escaped.

	  -top
	     Specifies the text to be placed at the top of each output file.

	  -bottom  text
	     Specifies the text to be placed at the bottom of each output
	     file. The text will be placed at the bottom of the page, below
	     the lower navigation bar. The text may contain HTML tags and
	     white space, though if it does, it must be enclosed in quotes.
	     Any internal quotation marks within text may have to be escaped.

	  -link	 extdocURL
	     Creates links to existing javadoc-generated documentation of
	     external referenced classes. It takes one argument:

	     o extdocURL is the absolute or relative URL of the directory con-
	       taining the external javadoc-generated documentation you want
	       to link to. Examples are shown below. The package-list file
	       must be found in this directory (otherwise, use -linkoffline).
	       The Javadoc tool reads the package names from the package-list
	       file and then links to those packages at that URL. When the
	       Javadoc tool is run, the extdocURL value is copied literally
	       into the <A HREF> links that are created. Therefore, extdocURL
	       must be the URL to the directory, not to a file.
	       You can use an absolute link for extdocURL to enable your docs
	       to link to a document on any website, or can use a relative
	       link to link only to a relative location. If relative, the
	       value you pass in should be the relative path from the destina-
	       tion directory (specified with -d) to the directory containing
	       the packages being linked to.
	       When specifying an absolute link you normally use an http:
	       link. However, if you want to link to a file system that has no
	       web server, you can use a file: link -- however, do this only
	       if everyone wanting to access the generated documentation
	       shares the same file system.
	       In all cases, and on all operating systems, you should use a
	       forward slash as the separator, whether the URL is absolute or
	       relative, and "http:" or "file:" based (as specified in the URL
	       Memo @
	       http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt).

		Absolute http: based link:
		   -link http://<host>/<directory>/<directory>/.../<name>

		Absolute file: based link:
		   -link file://<host>/<directory>/<directory>/.../<name>

		Relative link:
		   -link <directory>/<directory>/.../<name>
	  You can specify multiple -link options in a given javadoc run to
	  link to multiple documents.
	  Choosing between -linkoffline and -link:
	  Use -link:

	     o when using a relative path to the external API document, or

	     o when using an absolute URL to the external API document, if
	       your shell allows a program to open a connection to that URL
	       for reading.
	  Use -linkoffline:

	     o when using an absolute URL to the external API document, if
	       your shell does not allow a program to open a connection to
	       that URL for reading. This can occur if you are behind a fire-
	       wall and the document you want to link to is on the other side.
	  Example using absolute links to the external docs - Let us say you
	  want to link to the java.lang, java.io and other Java Platform pack-
	  ages at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/ @
	  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/. The following command
	  generates documentation for the package com.mypackage with links to
	  the Java SE Platform packages. The generated documentation will con-
	  tain links to the Object class, for example, in the class trees.
	  (Other options, such as -sourcepath and -d, are not shown.)
	    % javadoc -link http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/ com.mypackage
	  Example using relative links to the external docs - Let us say you
	  have two packages whose docs are generated in different runs of the
	  Javadoc tool, and those docs are separated by a relative path. In
	  this example, the packages are com.apipackage, an API, and com.spi-
	  package, an SPI (Service Provide Interface). You want the documenta-
	  tion to reside in docs/api/com/apipackage and docs/spi/com/spipack-
	  age. Assuming the API package documentation is already generated,
	  and that docs is the current directory, you would document the SPI
	  package with links to the API documentation by running:
	    % javadoc -d ./spi -link ../api com.spipackage
	  Notice the -link argument is relative to the destination directory
	  (docs/spi).
	  Details - The -link option enables you to link to classes referenced
	  to by your code but not documented in the current javadoc run. For
	  these links to go to valid pages, you must know where those HTML
	  pages are located, and specify that location with extdocURL. This
	  allows, for instance, third party documentation to link to java.*
	  documentation on http://java.sun.com.
	  Omit the -link option for javadoc to create links only to API within
	  the documentation it is generating in the current run. (Without the
	  -link option, the Javadoc tool does not create links to documenta-
	  tion for external references, because it does not know if or where
	  that documentation exists.)
	  This option can create links in several places in the generated doc-
	  umentation.
	  Another use is for cross-links between sets of packages: Execute
	  javadoc on one set of packages, then run javadoc again on another
	  set of packages, creating links both ways between both sets.
	  How a Class Must be Referenced - For a link to an external refer-
	  enced class to actually appear (and not just its text label), the
	  class must be referenced in the following way. It is not sufficient
	  for it to be referenced in the body of a method. It must be refer-
	  enced in either an import statement or in a declaration. Here are
	  examples of how the class java.io.File can be referenced:

	     o In any kind of import statement: by wildcard import, import
	       explicitly by name, or automatically import for java.lang.*.
	       For example, this would suffice:
	       import java.io.*;
	       In 1.3.x and 1.2.x, only an explicit import by name works -- a
	       wildcard import statement does not work, nor does the automatic
	       import java.lang.*.

	     o In a declaration:
	       void foo(File f) {}
	       The reference and be in the return type or parameter type of a
	       method, constructor, field, class or interface, or in an imple-
	       ments, extends or throws statement.
	  An important corollary is that when you use the -link option, there
	  may be many links that unintentionally do not appear due to this
	  constraint. (The text would appear without a hypertext link.) You
	  can detect these by the warnings they emit. The most innocuous way
	  to properly reference a class and thereby add the link would be to
	  import that class, as shown above.
	  Package List - The -link option requires that a file named pack-
	  age-list, which is generated by the Javadoc tool, exist at the URL
	  you specify with -link. The package-list file is a simple text file
	  that lists the names of packages documented at that location. In the
	  earlier example, the Javadoc tool looks for a file named pack-
	  age-list at the given URL, reads in the package names and then links
	  to those packages at that URL.
	  For example, the package list for the Java SE 6 API is located at
	  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/package-list @
	  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/package-list. and starts as
	  follows:
	    java.applet
	    java.awt
	    java.awt.color
	    java.awt.datatransfer
	    java.awt.dnd
	    java.awt.event
	    java.awt.font
	    etc.
	  When javadoc is run without the -link option, when it encounters a
	  name that belongs to an external referenced class, it prints the
	  name with no link. However, when the -link option is used, the
	  Javadoc tool searches the package-list file at the specified
	  extdocURL location for that package name. If it finds the package
	  name, it prefixes the name with extdocURL.
	  In order for there to be no broken links, all of the documentation
	  for the external references must exist at the specified URLs. The
	  Javadoc tool will not check that these pages exist -- only that the
	  package-list exists.
	  Multiple Links - You can supply multiple -link options to link to
	  any number of external generated documents.	Javadoc 1.2 has a
	  known bug which prevents you from supplying more than one -link com-
	  mand. This was fixed in 1.2.2.
	  Specify a different link option for each external document to link
	  to:
	     % javadoc -link extdocURL1 -link extdocURL2 ... -link extdocURLn
	  com.mypackage
	  where extdocURL1,  extdocURL2,  ... extdocURLn point respectively to
	  the roots of external documents, each of which contains a file named
	  package-list.
	  Cross-links - Note that "bootstrapping" may be required when
	  cross-linking two or more documents that have not previously been
	  generated. In other words, if package-list does not exist for either
	  document, when you run the Javadoc tool on the first document, the
	  package-list will not yet exist for the second document. Therefore,
	  to create the external links, you must re-generate the first docu-
	  ment after generating the second document.
	  In this case, the purpose of first generating a document is to cre-
	  ate its package-list (or you can create it by hand it if you're cer-
	  tain of the package names). Then generate the second document with
	  its external links. The Javadoc tool prints a warning if a needed
	  external package-list file does not exist.

	  -linkoffline	extdocURL  packagelistLoc
	     This option is a variation of -link; they both create links to
	     javadoc-generated documentation for external referenced classes.
	     Use the -linkoffline option when linking to a document on the web
	     when the Javadoc tool itself is "offline" -- that is, it cannot
	     access the document through a web connection.
	     More specifically, use -linkoffline if the external document's
	     package-list file is not accessible or does not exist at the
	     extdocURL location but does exist at a different location, which
	     can be specified by packageListLoc (typically local). Thus, if
	     extdocURL is accessible only on the World Wide Web, -linkoffline
	     removes the constraint that the Javadoc tool have a web connec-
	     tion when generating the documentation.
	     Another use is as a "hack" to update docs: After you have run
	     javadoc on a full set of packages, then you can run javadoc again
	     on onlya smaller set of changed packages, so that the updated
	     files can be inserted back into the original set. Examples are
	     given below.
	     The -linkoffline option takes two arguments -- the first for the
	     string to be embedded in the <a href> links, the second telling
	     it where to find package-list:

	     o extdocURL is the absolute or relative URL of the directory con-
	       taining the external javadoc-generated documentation you want
	       to link to. If relative, the value should be the relative path
	       from the destination directory (specified with -d) to the root
	       of the packages being linked to. For more details, see
	       extdocURL in the -link option.

	     o packagelistLoc is the path or URL to the directory containing
	       the package-list file for the external documentation. This can
	       be a URL (http: or file:) or file path, and can be absolute or
	       relative. If relative, make it relative to the current direc-
	       tory from where javadoc was run. Do not include the pack-
	       age-list filename.
	  You can specify multiple -linkoffline options in a given javadoc
	  run. (Prior to 1.2.2, it could be specified only once.)
	  Example using absolute links to the external docs - Let us say you
	  want to link to the java.lang, java.io and other Java SE Platform
	  packages at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/, but your
	  shell does not have web access. You could open the package-list file
	  in a browser at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/pack-
	  age-list @
	  http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/package-list, save it to a
	  local directory, and point to this local copy with the second argu-
	  ment, packagelistLoc. In this example, the package list file has
	  been saved to the current directory "." . The following command gen-
	  erates documentation for the package com.mypackage with links to the
	  Java SE Platform packages. The generated documentation will contain
	  links to the Object class, for example, in the class trees. (Other
	  necessary options, such as -sourcepath, are not shown.)
	  % javadoc -linkoffline http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/ . com.mypackage
	  Example using relative links to the external docs - It's not very
	  common to use -linkoffline with relative paths, for the simple rea-
	  son that -link usually suffices. When using -linkoffline, the pack-
	  age-list file is generally local, and when using relative links, the
	  file you are linking to is also generally local. So it is usually
	  unnecessary to give a different path for the two arguments to
	  -linkoffline. When the two arguments are identical, you can use
	  -link. See the -link relative example.
	  Manually Creating a package-list File - If a package-list file does
	  not yet exist, but you know what package names your document will
	  link to, you can create your own copy of this file by hand and spec-
	  ify its path with packagelistLoc. An example would be the previous
	  case where the package list for com.spipackage did not exist when
	  com.apipackage was first generated. This technique is useful when
	  you need to generate documentation that links to new external docu-
	  mentation whose package names you know, but which is not yet pub-
	  lished. This is also a way of creating package-list files for pack-
	  ages generated with Javadoc 1.0 or 1.1, where package-list files
	  were not generated. Likewise, two companies can share their unpub-
	  lished package-list files, enabling them to release their
	  cross-linked documentation simultaneously.
	  Linking to Multiple Documents - You can include -linkoffline once
	  for each generated document you want to refer to (each option is
	  shown on a separate line for clarity):
	  % javadoc -linkoffline extdocURL1 packagelistLoc1 \
		    -linkoffline extdocURL2 packagelistLoc2 \
		    ...
	  Updating docs - Another use for -linkoffline option is useful if
	  your project has dozens or hundreds of packages, if you have already
	  run javadoc on the entire tree, and now, in a separate run, you want
	  to quickly make some small changes and re-run javadoc on just a
	  small portion of the source tree. This is somewhat of a hack in that
	  it works properly only if your changes are only to doc comments and
	  not to declarations. If you were to add, remove or change any decla-
	  rations from the source code, then broken links could show up in the
	  index, package tree, inherited member lists, use page, and other
	  places.
	  First, you create a new destination directory (call it update) for
	  this new small run. Let us say the original destination directory
	  was named html. In the simplest example, cd to the parent of html.
	  Set the first argument of -linkoffline to the current directory "."
	  and set the second argument to the relative path to html, where it
	  can find package-list, and pass in only the package names of the
	  packages you want to update:
	    % javadoc -d update -linkoffline . html com.mypackage
	  When the Javadoc tool is done, copy these generated class pages in
	  update/com/package (not the overview or index), over the original
	  files in html/com/package.

	  -linksource
	     Creates an HTML version of each source file (with line numbers)
	     and adds links to them from the standard HTML documentation.
	     Links are created for classes, interfaces, constructors, methods
	     and fields whose declarations are in a source file. Otherwise,
	     links are not created, such as for default constructors and gen-
	     erated classes.
	     This option exposes all private implementation details in the
	     included source files, including private classes, private fields,
	     and the bodies of private methods, regardless of the -public,
	     -package, -protected and -private options. Unless you also use
	     the -private option, not all private classes or interfaces will
	     necessarily be accessible via links.
	     Each link appears on the name of the identifier in its declara-
	     tion. For example, the link to the source code of the Button
	     class would be on the word "Button":
		 public class Button
		 extends Component
		 implements Accessible
	     and the link to the source code of the getLabel() method in the
	     Button class would be on the word "getLabel":
		 public String getLabel()

	  -group  groupheading	packagepattern:packagepattern:...
	     Separates packages on the overview page into whatever groups you
	     specify, one group per table. You specify each group with a dif-
	     ferent -group option. The groups appear on the page in the order
	     specified on the command line; packages are alphabetized within a
	     group. For a given -group option, the packages matching the list
	     of packagepattern expressions appear in a table with the heading
	     groupheading.

	     o groupheading can be any text, and can include white space. This
	       text is placed in the table heading for the group.

	     o packagepattern can be any package name, or can be the start of
	       any package name followed by an asterisk (*). The asterisk is a
	       wildcard meaning "match any characters". This is the only wild-
	       card allowed. Multiple patterns can be included in a group by
	       separating them with colons (:).
	  NOTE: If using an asterisk in a pattern or pattern list, the pattern
	  list must be inside quotes, such as "java.lang*:java.util"
	  If you do not supply any -group option, all packages are placed in
	  one group with the heading "Packages". If the all groups do not
	  include all documented packages, any leftover packages appear in a
	  separate group with the heading "Other Packages".
	  For example, the following option separates the four documented
	  packages into core, extension and other packages. Notice the trail-
	  ing "dot" does not appear in "java.lang*" -- including the dot, such
	  as "java.lang.*" would omit the java.lang package.
	    % javadoc -group "Core Packages" "java.lang*:java.util"
		      -group "Extension Packages" "javax.*"
		      java.lang java.lang.reflect java.util javax.servlet java.new
	  This results in the groupings:

	     Core Packages
		java.lang java.lang.reflect java.util

	     Extension Packages
		javax.servlet

	     Other Packages
		java.new

	  -nodeprecated
	     Prevents the generation of any deprecated API at all in the docu-
	     mentation. This does what -nodeprecatedlist does, plus it does
	     not generate any deprecated API throughout the rest of the docu-
	     mentation. This is useful when writing code and you don't want to
	     be distracted by the deprecated code.

	  -nodeprecatedlist
	     Prevents the generation of the file containing the list of depre-
	     cated APIs (deprecated-list.html) and the link in the navigation
	     bar to that page. (However, javadoc continues to generate the
	     deprecated API throughout the rest of the document.) This is use-
	     ful if your source code contains no deprecated API, and you want
	     to make the navigation bar cleaner.

	  -nosince
	     Omits from the generated docs the "Since" sections associated
	     with the @since tags.

	  -notree
	     Omits the class/interface hierarchy pages from the generated
	     docs. These are the pages you reach using the "Tree" button in
	     the navigation bar. The hierarchy is produced by default.

	  -noindex
	     Omits the index from the generated docs. The index is produced by
	     default.

	  -nohelp
	     Omits the HELP link in the navigation bars at the top and bottom
	     of each page of output.

	  -nonavbar
	     Prevents the generation of the navigation bar, header and footer,
	     otherwise found at the top and bottom of the generated pages. Has
	     no affect on the "bottom" option. The -nonavbar option is useful
	     when you are interested only in the content and have no need for
	     navigation, such as converting the files to PostScript or PDF for
	     print only.

	  -helpfile  path/filename
	     Specifies the path of an alternate help file path/filename that
	     the HELP link in the top and bottom navigation bars link to.
	     Without this option, the Javadoc tool automatically creates a
	     help file help-doc.html that is hard-coded in the Javadoc tool.
	     This option enables you to override this default. The filename
	     can be any name and is not restricted to help-doc.html -- the
	     Javadoc tool will adjust the links in the navigation bar accord-
	     ingly. For example:
	       % javadoc -helpfile /home/user/myhelp.html java.awt

	  -stylesheetfile  path/filename
	     Specifies the path of an alternate HTML stylesheet file. Without
	     this option, the Javadoc tool automatically creates a stylesheet
	     file stylesheet.css that is hard-coded in the Javadoc tool. This
	     option enables you to override this default. The filename can be
	     any name and is not restricted to stylesheet.css. For example:
	       % javadoc -stylesheetfile /home/user/mystylesheet.css com.mypackage

	  -serialwarn
	     Generates compile-time warnings for missing @serial tags. By
	     default, Javadoc 1.2.2 (and later versions) generates no serial
	     warnings. (This is a reversal from earlier versions.) Use this
	     option to display the serial warnings, which helps to properly
	     document default serializable fields and writeExternal methods.

	  -charset  name
	     Specifies the HTML character set for this document. The name
	     should be a preferred MIME name as given in the IANA Registry @
	     http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets. For example:
	       % javadoc -charset "iso-8859-1" mypackage
	     would insert the following line in the head of every generated
	     page:
		<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
	     This META tag is described in the HTML standard @
	     http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#h-5.2.2. (4197265
	     and 4137321)
	     Also see -encoding and -docencoding.

	  -docencoding	name
	     Specifies the encoding of the generated HTML files. The name
	     should be a preferred MIME name as given in the IANA Registry @
	     http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets. If you omit this
	     option but use -encoding, then the encoding of the generated HTML
	     files is determined by -encoding. Example:
	       % javadoc -docencoding "ISO-8859-1" mypackage
	     Also see -encoding and -charset.

	  -keywords
	     Adds HTML meta keyword tags to the generated file for each class.
	     These tags can help the page be found by search engines that look
	     for meta tags. (Most search engines that search the entire Inter-
	     net do not look at meta tags, because pages can misuse them; but
	     search engines offered by companies that confine their search to
	     their own website can benefit by looking at meta tags.)
	     The meta tags include the fully qualified name of the class and
	     the unqualified names of the fields and methods. Constructors are
	     not included because they are identical to the class name. For
	     example, the class String starts with these keywords:
		  <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="java.lang.String class">
		  <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER">
		  <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="length()">
		  <META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="charAt()">

	  -tag	tagname:Xaoptcmf:"taghead"
	     Enables the Javadoc tool to interpret a simple, one-argument cus-
	     tom block tag @tagname in doc comments. So the Javadoc tool can
	     "spell-check" tag names, it is important to include a -tag option
	     for every custom tag that is present in the source code, dis-
	     abling (with X) those that are not being output in the current
	     run.
	     The colon (:) is always the separator. To use a colon in tagname,
	     see Use of Colon in Tag Name.
	     The -tag option outputs the tag's heading taghead in bold, fol-
	     lowed on the next line by the text from its single argument, as
	     shown in the example below. Like any block tag, this argument's
	     text can contain inline tags, which are also interpreted. The
	     output is similar to standard one-argument tags, such as @return
	     and @author. Omitting taghead causes tagname to appear as the
	     heading.
	     Placement of tags - The Xaoptcmf part of the argument determines
	     where in the source code the tag is allowed to be placed, and
	     whether the tag can be disabled (using X). You can supply either
	     a, to allow the tag in all places, or any combination of the
	     other letters:
	     X (disable tag)
	     a (all)
	     o (overview)
	     p (packages)
	     t (types, that is classes and interfaces)
	     c (constructors)
	     m (methods)
	     f (fields)
	     Examples of single tags - An example of a tag option for a tag
	     that can be used anywhere in the source code is:
		 -tag todo:a:"To Do:"
	     If you wanted @todo to be used only with constructors, methods
	     and fields, you would use:
		 -tag todo:cmf:"To Do:"
	     Notice the last colon (:) above is not a parameter separator, but
	     is part of the heading text (as shown below). You would use
	     either tag option for source code that contains the tag @todo,
	     such as:
		  @todo The documentation for this method needs work.
	     Use of Colon in Tag Name - A colon can be used in a tag name if
	     it is escaped with a backslash. For this doc comment:
		 /**
		  * @ejb:bean
		  */
	     use this tag option:
		 -tag ejb\\:bean:a:"EJB Bean:"
	     Spell-checking tag names (Disabling tags) - Some developers put
	     custom tags in the source code that they don't always want to
	     output. In these cases, it is important to list all tags that are
	     present in the source code, enabling the ones you want to output
	     and disabling the ones you don't want to output. The presence of
	     X disables the tag, while its absence enables the tag. This gives
	     the Javadoc tool enough information to know if a tag it encoun-
	     ters is unknown, probably the results of a typo or a misspelling.
	     It prints a warning in these cases.
	     You can add X to the placement values already present, so that
	     when you want to enable the tag, you can simply delete the X. For
	     example, if @todo is a tag that you want to suppress on output,
	     you would use:
		 -tag todo:Xcmf:"To Do:"
	     or, if you'd rather keep it simple:
		 -tag todo:X
	     The syntax -tag todo:X works even if @todo is defined by a
	     taglet.
	     Order of tags - The order of the -tag (and -taglet) options
	     determine the order the tags are output. You can mix the custom
	     tags with the standard tags to intersperse them. The tag options
	     for standard tags are placeholders only for determining the order
	     -- they take only the standard tag's name. (Subheadings for stan-
	     dard tags cannot be altered.) This is illustrated in the follow-
	     ing example.
	     If -tag is missing, then the position of -taglet determines its
	     order. If they are both present, then whichever appears last on
	     the command line determines its order. (This happens because the
	     tags and taglets are processed in the order that they appear on
	     the command line. For example, if -taglet and -tag both have the
	     name "todo", the one that appears last on the command line will
	     determine its order.
	     Example of a complete set of tags - This example inserts "To Do"
	     after "Parameters" and before "Throws" in the output. By using
	     "X", it also specifies that @example is a tag that might be
	     encountered in the source code that should not be output during
	     this run. Notice that if you use @argfile, you can put the tags
	     on separate lines in an argument file like this (no line continu-
	     ation characters needed):
		-tag param
		-tag return
		-tag todo:a:"To Do:"
		-tag throws
		-tag see
		-tag example:X
	     When javadoc parses the doc comments, any tag encountered that is
	     neither a standard tag nor passed in with -tag or -taglet is con-
	     sidered unknown, and a warning is thrown.
	     The standard tags are initially stored internally in a list in
	     their default order. Whenever -tag options are used, those tags
	     get appended to this list -- standard tags are moved from their
	     default position. Therefore, if a -tag option is omitted for a
	     standard tag, it remains in its default position.
	     Avoiding Conflicts - If you want to slice out your own namespace,
	     you can use a dot-separated naming convention similar to that
	     used for packages: com.mycompany.todo. Oracle will continue to
	     create standard tags whose names do not contain dots. Any tag you
	     create will override the behavior of a tag by the same name
	     defined by Oracle. In other words, if you create a tag or taglet
	     @todo, it will always have the same behavior you define, even if
	     Oracle later creates a standard tag of the same name.
	     Annotations vs. Javadoc Tags - In general, if the markup you want
	     to add is intended to affect or produce documentation, it should
	     probably be a javadoc tag; otherwise, it should be an annotation.
	     See Comparing Annotations and Javadoc Tags @
	     http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documenta-
	     tion/index-137868.html#annotations<
	     You can also create more complex block tags, or custom inline
	     tags with the -taglet option.

	  -taglet  class
	     Specifies the class file that starts the taglet used in generat-
	     ing the documentation for that tag. Use the fully-qualified name
	     for class. This taglet also defines the number of text arguments
	     that the custom tag has. The taglet accepts those arguments, pro-
	     cesses them, and generates the output. For extensive documenta-
	     tion with example taglets, see:

	     o Taglet Overview @
	       http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/tech-
	       notes/guides/javadoc/taglet/overview.html
	  Taglets are useful for block or inline tags. They can have any num-
	  ber of arguments and implement custom behavior, such as making text
	  bold, formatting bullets, writing out the text to a file, or start-
	  ing other processes.
	  Taglets can only determine where a tag should appear and in what
	  form. All other decisions are made by the doclet. So a taglet cannot
	  do things such as remove a class name from the list of included
	  classes. However, it can execute side effects, such as printing the
	  tag's text to a file or triggering another process.
	  Use the -tagletpath option to specify the path to the taglet. Here
	  is an example that inserts the "To Do" taglet after "Parameters" and
	  ahead of "Throws" in the generated pages:
	      -taglet com.sun.tools.doclets.ToDoTaglet
	      -tagletpath /home/taglets
	      -tag return
	      -tag param
	      -tag todo
	      -tag throws
	      -tag see
	  Alternatively, you can use the -taglet option in place of its -tag
	  option, but that may be harder to read.

	  -tagletpath  tagletpathlist
	     Specifies the search paths for finding taglet class files
	     (.class). The tagletpathlist can contain multiple paths by sepa-
	     rating them with a colon (:). The Javadoc tool will search in all
	     subdirectories of the specified paths.

	  -docfilessubdirs
	     Enables deep copying of "doc-files" directories. In other words,
	     subdirectories and all contents are recursively copied to the
	     destination. For example, the directory doc-files/example/images
	     and all its contents would now be copied. There is also an option
	     to exclude subdirectories.

	  -excludedocfilessubdir  name1:name2...
	     Excludes any "doc-files" subdirectories with the given names.
	     This prevents the copying of SCCS and other source-code-control
	     subdirectories.

	  -noqualifier	all  |	packagename1:packagename2:...
	     Omits qualifying package name from ahead of class names in out-
	     put. The argument to -noqualifier is either "all" (all package
	     qualifiers are omitted) or a colon-separate list of packages,
	     with wildcards, to be removed as qualifiers. The package name is
	     removed from places where class or interface names appear.
	     The following example omits all package qualifiers:
		 -noqualifier all
	     The following example omits "java.lang" and "java.io" package
	     qualifiers:
		 -noqualifier java.lang:java.io
	     The following example omits package qualifiers starting with
	     "java", and "com.sun" subpackages (but not "javax"):
		 -noqualifier java.*:com.sun.*
	     Where a package qualifier would appear due to the above behavior,
	     the name can be suitably shortened -- see How a name is dis-
	     played. This rule is in effect whether or not -noqualifier is
	     used.

	  -notimestamp
	     Suppresses the timestamp, which is hidden in an HTML comment in
	     the generated HTML near the top of each page. Useful when you
	     want to run javadoc on two source bases and diff them, as it pre-
	     vents timestamps from causing a diff (which would otherwise be a
	     diff on every page). The timestamp includes the javadoc version
	     number, and currently looks like this:
		  <!-- Generated by javadoc (build 1.5.0_01) on Thu Apr 02 14:04:52 IST 2009 -->

	  -nocomment
	     Suppress the entire comment body, including the main description
	     and all tags, generating only declarations. This option enables
	     re-using source files originally intended for a different pur-
	     pose, to produce skeleton HTML documentation at the early stages
	     of a new project.

	  -sourcetab tabLength
	     Specify the number of spaces each tab takes up in the source.

COMMAND LINE ARGUMENT FILES
       To shorten or simplify the javadoc command line, you can specify one or
       more files that themselves contain arguments to the javadoc command
       (except -J options). This enables you to create javadoc commands of any
       length on any operating system.

       An argument file can include javac options and source filenames in any
       combination. The arguments within a file can be space-separated or new-
       line-separated. If a filename contains embedded spaces, put the whole
       filename in double quotes.

       Filenames within an argument file are relative to the current direc-
       tory, not the location of the argument file. Wildcards (*) are not
       allowed in these lists (such as for specifying *.java). Use of the '@'
       character to recursively interpret files is not supported. The -J
       options are not supported because they are passed to the launcher,
       which does not support argument files.

       When executing javadoc, pass in the path and name of each argument file
       with the '@' leading character. When javadoc encounters an argument
       beginning with the character `@', it expands the contents of that file
       into the argument list.

   Example - Single Arg File
       You could use a single argument file named "argfile" to hold all
       Javadoc arguments:
	 % javadoc @argfile

       This argument file could contain the contents of both files shown in
       the next example.

   Example - Two Arg Files
       You can create two argument files -- one for the Javadoc options and
       the other for the package names or source filenames: (Notice the fol-
       lowing lists have no line-continuation characters.)

       Create a file named "options" containing:
	    -d docs-filelist
	    -use
	    -splitindex
	    -windowtitle 'Java SE 7 API Specification'
	    -doctitle 'Java SE 7 API Specification'
	    -header '<b>Java(TM) SE 7</b>'
	    -bottom 'Copyright &copy; 1993-2011 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.'
	    -group "Core Packages" "java.*"
	    -overview /java/pubs/ws/1.7.0/src/share/classes/overview-core.html
	    -sourcepath /java/pubs/ws/1.7.0/src/share/classes

       Create a file named "packages" containing:
	    com.mypackage1
	    com.mypackage2
	    com.mypackage3

       You would then run javadoc with:
	 % javadoc @options @packages

   Example - Arg Files with Paths
       The argument files can have paths, but any filenames inside the files
       are relative to the current working directory (not path1 or path2):
	 % javadoc @path1/options @path2/packages

   Example - Option Arguments
       Here's an example of saving just an argument to a javadoc option in an
       argument file. We'll use the -bottom option, since it can have a
       lengthy argument. You could create a file named "bottom" containing its
       text argument:
       <font size="-1">
	     <a href="http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/">Submit a bug or feature</a><br/>
	     Copyright &copy; 1993, 2011, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.<br/>
	     Oracle is a registered trademark of Oracle Corporation and/or its affiliates.
	     Other names may be trademarks of their respective owners.</font>

       Then run the Javadoc tool with:
	 % javadoc -bottom @bottom @packages

       Or you could include the -bottom option at the start of the argument
       file, and then just run it as:
	 % javadoc @bottom @packages

Name
       Running

RUNNING JAVADOC
       Version Numbers - The version number of javadoc can be determined using
       javadoc -J-version. The version number of the standard doclet appears
       in its output stream. It can be turned off with -quiet.

       Public programmatic interface - To invoke the Javadoc tool from within
       programs written in the Java language. This interface is in
       com.sun.tools.javadoc.Main (and javadoc is re-entrant). For more
       details, see Standard Doclet @
       http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/stan-
       dard-doclet.html#runningprogrammatically.

       Running Doclets - The instructions given below are for invoking the
       standard HTML doclet. To invoke a custom doclet, use the -doclet and
       -docletpath options. For full, working examples of running a particular
       doclet, see the MIF Doclet documentation @
       http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/mifdoclet/docs/mifdoclet.html.

SIMPLE EXAMPLES
       You can run javadoc on entire packages or individual source files. Each
       package name has a corresponding directory name. In the following exam-
       ples, the source files are located at /home/src/java/awt/*.java. The
       destination directory is /home/html.

   Documenting One or More Packages
       To document a package, the source files (*.java) for that package must
       be located in a directory having the same name as the package. If a
       package name is made up of several identifiers (separated by dots, such
       as java.awt.color), each subsequent identifier must correspond to a
       deeper subdirectory (such as java/awt/color). You may split the source
       files for a single package among two such directory trees located at
       different places, as long as -sourcepath points to them both -- for
       example src1/java/awt/color and src2/java/awt/color.

       You can run javadoc either by changing directories (with cd) or by
       using -sourcepath option. The examples below illustrate both alterna-
       tives.

	  o Case 1 - Run recursively starting from one or more packages - This
	    example uses -sourcepath so javadoc can be run from any directory
	    and -subpackages (a new 1.4 option) for recursion. It traverses
	    the subpackages of the java directory excluding packages rooted at
	    java.net and java.lang. Notice this excludes java.lang.ref, a sub-
	    package of java.lang).
	      % javadoc -d /home/html -sourcepath /home/src -subpackages java -exclude java.net:java.lang

	  To also traverse down other package trees, append their names to the
	  -subpackages argument, such as java:javax:org.xml.sax.

	  o Case 2 - Run on explicit packages after changing to the "root"
	    source directory - Change to the parent directory of the
	    fully-qualified package. Then run javadoc, supplying names of one
	    or more packages you want to document:
	      % cd /home/src/
	      % javadoc -d /home/html java.awt java.awt.event

	  o Case 3 - Run from any directory on explicit packages in a single
	    directory tree - In this case, it doesn't matter what the current
	    directory is. Run javadoc supplying -sourcepath with the parent
	    directory of the top-level package, and supplying names of one or
	    more packages you want to document:
	      % javadoc -d /home/html -sourcepath /home/src java.awt java.awt.event

	  o Case 4 - Run from any directory on explicit packages in multiple
	    directory trees - This is the same as case 3, but for packages in
	    separate directory trees. Run javadoc supplying -sourcepath with
	    the path to each tree's root (colon-separated) and supply names of
	    one or more packages you want to document. All source files for a
	    given package do not need to be located under a single root direc-
	    tory -- they just need to be found somewhere along the sourcepath.
	      % javadoc -d /home/html -sourcepath /home/src1:/home/src2 java.awt java.awt.event

       Result: All cases generate HTML-formatted documentation for the public
       and protected classes and interfaces in packages java.awt and
       java.awt.event and save the HTML files in the specified destination
       directory (/home/html). Because two or more packages are being gener-
       ated, the document has three HTML frames -- for the list of packages,
       the list of classes, and the main class pages.

   Documenting One or More Classes
       The second way to run the Javadoc tool is by passing in one or more
       source files (.java). You can run javadoc either of the following two
       ways -- by changing directories (with cd) or by fully-specifying the
       path to the .java files. Relative paths are relative to the current
       directory. The -sourcepath option is ignored when passing in source
       files. You can use command line wildcards, such as asterisk (*), to
       specify groups of classes.

	  o Case 1 - Changing to the source directory - Change to the direc-
	    tory holding the .java files. Then run javadoc, supplying names of
	    one or more source files you want to document.
	      % cd /home/src/java/awt
	      % javadoc -d /home/html Button.java Canvas.java Graphics*.java
	    This example generates HTML-formatted documentation for the
	    classes Button, Canvas and classes beginning with Graphics.
	    Because source files rather than package names were passed in as
	    arguments to javadoc, the document has two frames -- for the list
	    of classes and the main page.

	  o Case 2 - Changing to the package root directory - This is useful
	    for documenting individual source files from different subpackages
	    off the same root. Change to the package root directory, and sup-
	    ply the source files with paths from the root.
	      % cd /home/src/
	      % javadoc -d /home/html java/awt/Button.java java/applet/Applet.java
	    This example generates HTML-formatted documentation for the
	    classes Button and Applet.

	  o Case 3 - From any directory - In this case, it doesn't matter what
	    the current directory is. Run javadoc supplying the absolute path
	    (or path relative to the current directory) to the .java files you
	    want to document.
	      % javadoc -d /home/html /home/src/java/awt/Button.java /home/src/java/awt/Graphics*.java
	    This example generates HTML-formatted documentation for the class
	    Button and classes beginning with Graphics.

   Documenting Both Packages and Classes
       You can document entire packages and individual classes at the same
       time. Here's an example that mixes two of the previous examples. You
       can use -sourcepath for the path to the packages but not for the path
       to the individual classes.
	 % javadoc -d /home/html -sourcepath /home/src java.awt /home/src/java/applet/Applet.java

       This example generates HTML-formatted documentation for the package
       java.awt and class Applet. (The Javadoc tool determines the package
       name for Applet from the package declaration, if any, in the
       Applet.java source file.)

REAL WORLD EXAMPLE
       The Javadoc tool has many useful options, some of which are more com-
       monly used than others. Here is effectively the command we use to run
       the Javadoc tool on the Java platform API. We use 180MB of memory to
       generate the documentation for the 1500 (approx.) public and protected
       classes in the Java SE Platform, Standard Edition, v1.2.

       The same example is shown twice -- first as executed on the command
       line, then as executed from a makefile. It uses absolute paths in the
       option arguments, which enables the same javadoc command to be run from
       any directory.

   Command Line Example
       The following example may be too long for some shells such as DOS. You
       can use a command line argument file (or write a shell script) to work-
       around this limitation.
       % javadoc -sourcepath /java/jdk/src/share/classes \
	   -overview /java/jdk/src/share/classes/overview.html \
	   -d /java/jdk/build/api \
	   -use \
	   -splitIndex \

       where packages is the name of a file containing the packages to
       process, such as java.applet java.lang. None of the options should con-
       tain any newline characters between the single quotes. (For example, if
       you copy and paste this example, delete the newline characters from the
       -bottom option.) See the other notes listed below.

   Makefile Example
       This is an example of a GNU makefile. For an example of a Windows make-
       file, see creating a makefile for Windows @
       http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/faq/index.html#makefiles.

       NOTES

	  o If you omit the -windowtitle option, the Javadoc tool copies the
	    doc title to the window title. The -windowtitle text is basically
	    the same as the -doctitle but without HTML tags, to prevent those
	    tags from appearing as raw text in the window title.

	  o If you omit the -footer option, as done here, the Javadoc tool
	    copies the header text to the footer.

	  o Other important options you might want to use but not needed in
	    this example are -classpath and -link.

TROUBLESHOOTING
   General Troubleshooting
	  o Javadoc FAQ - Commonly-encountered bugs and troubleshooting tips
	    can be found on the Javadoc FAQ @
	    http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/faq/index.html#B

	  o Bugs and Limitations - You can also see some bugs listed at Impor-
	    tant Bug Fixes and Changes.

	  o Version number - See version numbers.

	  o Documents only legal classes - When documenting a package, javadoc
	    only reads files whose names are composed of legal class names.
	    You can prevent javadoc from parsing a file by including, for
	    example, a hyphen "-" in its filename.

   Errors and Warnings
       Error and warning messages contain the filename and line number to the
       declaration line rather than to the particular line in the doc comment.

	  o "error: cannot read: Class1.java" the Javadoc tool is trying to
	    load the class Class1.java in the current directory. The class
	    name is shown with its path (absolute or relative), which in this
	    case is the same as ./Class1.java.

ENVIRONMENT
	  CLASSPATH
	     Environment variable that provides the path which javadoc uses to
	     find user class files. This environment variable is overridden by
	     the -classpath option. Separate directories with a colon, for
	     example:
