Javadoc Documentation Settings
Several Javadoc properties apply to the entire environment.
To view or change these properties, open the Options window,
expand the Code Documentation node and select the Documentation
subnode. The following
properties appear on the Properties tab.
- Ask for Destination Directory.
If True, the IDE asks for an output directory each time you generate Javadoc documentation. This option enables you to store Javadoc documentation in
multiple directories. If False, generates documentation in the
default output directory, which you can set under the Code
Documentation node in the Options window.
See Specifying an Output Directory for
Javadoc Files for more information.
- Default Search Engine.
Sets the search engine to use when searching
the documentation. The IDE provides support for searching documents other than
the Javadoc index produced by the JDK 1.2/1.3 search engine. For
example, you might plug in a search engine
that enables you to search internationalized Javadoc documentation.
The default value is the JDK 1.2/1.3 search engine.
- Javadoc Executor Type.
Sets the executor to use for generating Javadoc documentation.
You can use an external Javadoc executor or the
internal Javadoc executor. An advantage of using the external Javadoc executor is that it uses less memory than an internal Javadoc executor. A
disadvantage is that an external Javadoc executor cannot run on some types of
filesystems, such as a JAR filesystem.
The default value
is the external executor.
- Show in Browser.
If True, opens the default web browser and displays the Javadoc documentation
once it is generated. If False, does not display the generated Javadoc
documentation.
