-.TH javadoc 1 "10 May 2011"
-.SH "Name"
-javadoc \- The Java API Documentation Generator
-.LP
-Generates HTML pages of API documentation from Java source files. This document contains Javadoc examples for Solaris.
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.LP
-\f4javadoc\fP\f2\ [\ \fP\f2options\fP\f2\ ]\ [\ packagenames\ ]\ [\ sourcefilenames\ ]\ [\ \-subpackages\fP\ \f2pkg1:pkg2:...\fP\f2\ ]\ [\ \fP\f2@argfiles\fP\f2\ ]\fP
-.LP
-Arguments can be in any order. See processing of Source Files for details on how the Javadoc tool determines which "\f2.java\fP" files to process.
-.RS 3
-.TP 3
-options
-Command\-line options, as specified in this document. To see a typical use of javadoc options, see Real\-World Example.
-.TP 3
-packagenames
-A series of names of packages, separated by spaces, such as \f2java.lang\ java.lang.reflect\ java.awt\fP. You must separately specify each package you want to document. Wildcards are not allowed; use \-subpackages for recursion. The Javadoc tool uses \f2\-sourcepath\fP to look for these package names. See Example \- Documenting One or More Packages
-.TP 3
-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 Specification). Therefore, you can name files with dashes (such as \f2X\-Buffer\fP), 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 \f2not\fP use \f2\-sourcepath\fP to look for these source file names.) Relative paths are relative to the current directory, so passing in \f2Button.java\fP is identical to \f2./Button.java\fP. A source file name with an absolute path and a wildcard, for example, is \f2/home/src/java/awt/Graphics*.java\fP. See Example\ \-\ Documenting One or More Classes. You can also mix packagenames and sourcefilenames, as in Example\ \-\ Documenting Both Packages and Classes
-.TP 3
-\-subpackages pkg1:pkg2:...
-Generates documentation from source files in the specified packages and recursively in their subpackages. An alternative to supplying packagenames or sourcefilenames.
-.TP 3
-@argfiles
-One or more files that contain a list of Javadoc options, packagenames and sourcefilenames in any order. Wildcards (*) and \f2\-J\fP options are not allowed in these files.
-.RE
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.LP
-The \f3Javadoc\fP 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 documentation for a set of source files.
-.LP
-You can run the Javadoc tool on entire packages, individual source files, or both. When documenting entire packages, you can either use \f2\-subpackages\fP for traversing recursively down from a top\-level directory, or pass in an explicit list of package names. When documenting individual source files, you pass in a list of source (\f2.java\fP) filenames. Examples are given at the end of this document. How Javadoc processes source files is covered next.
-.SS
-Processing of source files
-.LP
-The Javadoc tool processes files that end in "\f2.java\fP" 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 "\f2.java\fP" 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 \f2\-subpackages\fP, and (3) use wildcards with source filenames (\f2*.java\fP). In these cases, the Javadoc tool processes a "\f2.java\fP" file only if it fulfills all of the following requirements:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-Its name, after stripping off the "\f2.java\fP" suffix, is actually a legal class name (see the Java Language Specification for legal characters)
-.TP 2
-o
-Its directory path relative to the root of the source tree is actually a legal package name (after converting its separators to dots)
-.TP 2
-o
-Its package statement contains the legal package name (specified in the previous bullet)
-.RE
-.LP
-\f3Processing of links\fP \- 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:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-Declarations (return types, argument types, field types)
-.TP 2
-o
-"See Also" sections generated from \f2@see\fP tags
-.TP 2
-o
-In\-line text generated from \f2{@link}\fP tags
-.TP 2
-o
-Exception names generated from \f2@throws\fP tags
-.TP 2
-o
-"Specified by" links to members in interfaces and "Overrides" links to members in classes
-.TP 2
-o
-Summary tables listing packages, classes and members
-.TP 2
-o
-Package and class inheritance trees
-.TP 2
-o
-The index
-.RE
-.LP
-You can add hyperlinks to existing text for classes not included on the command line (but generated separately) by way of the \f2\-link\fP and \f2\-linkoffline\fP options.
-.LP
-\f3Other processing details\fP \- The Javadoc tool produces one complete document each time it is run; it cannot do incremental builds \-\- that is, it cannot modify or \f2directly\fP incorporate results from previous runs of the Javadoc tool. However, it can link to results from other runs, as just mentioned.
-.LP
-As implemented, the Javadoc tool requires and relies on the java compiler to do its job. The Javadoc tool calls part of \f2javac\fP 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 comments in the source code.
-.LP
-In fact, the Javadoc tool will run on \f2.java\fP source files that are pure stub files with no method bodies. This means you can write documentation comments and run the Javadoc tool in the earliest stages of design while creating the API, before writing the implementation.
-.LP
-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 documents default constructors (see Java Language Specification) that are present in the \f2.class\fP files but not in the source code.
-.LP
-In many cases, the Javadoc tool allows you to generate documentation for source files whose code is incomplete or erroneous. This is a benefit that enables you to generate documentation before all debugging and troubleshooting is done. For example, according to the \f2Java Language Specification\fP, 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 thoroughly.
-.LP
-When the Javadoc tool builds its internal structure for the documentation, 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
-.na
-\f2How Classes Are Found\fP @
-.fi
-http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/findingclasses.html. Generally speaking, classes you create must either be loaded as an extension or in the Javadoc tool's class path.
-.SS
-Javadoc Doclets
-.LP
-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 documentation. 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:

-The \f2\-doclet\fP command\-line option
-.RE
-.LP
-When a custom doclet is not specified with the \f2\-doclet\fP 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
-.LP
-The terms \f2documentation comment\fP, \f2doc comment\fP, \f2main description\fP, \f2tag\fP, \f2block tag\fP, and \f2in\-line tag\fP are described at Documentation Comments. These other terms have specific meanings within the context of the Javadoc tool:
-.RS 3
-.TP 3
-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.
-.LP
-.TP 3
-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 \f2java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)\fP, or partially\-qualified, such as \f2equals(Object)\fP.
-.LP
-.TP 3
-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, package\-private or private). We also refer to these as the classes included in the javadoc output, or the \f2included classes\fP.
-.LP
-.TP 3
-included classes
-Classes and interfaces whose details are documented during a run of the Javadoc tool. Same as \f2documented classes\fP.
-.LP
-.TP 3
-excluded classes
-Classes and interfaces whose details are \f2not\fP documented during a run of the Javadoc tool.
-.LP
-.TP 3
-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 definition has changed since
-.na
-\f21.3\fP @
-.fi
-http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/tooldocs/solaris/javadoc.html#referencedclasses.) When the Javadoc tool is run, it should load into memory 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 existence and the fully\-qualified names of their members.
-.LP
-.TP 3
-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 \f2external references\fP or \f2external links\fP. For example, if you run the Javadoc tool on only the \f2java.awt\fP package, then any class in \f2java.lang\fP, such as \f2Object\fP, is an external referenced class. External referenced classes can be linked to using the \f2\-link\fP and \f2\-linkoffline\fP 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.
-.RE
-.SH "SOURCE FILES"
-.LP
-The Javadoc tool will generate output originating from four different types of "source" files: Java language source files for classes (\f2.java\fP), package comment files, overview comment files, and miscellaneous unprocessed files. This section also covers test files and template files that can also be in the source tree, but which you want to be sure not to document.
-.SS
-Class Source Code Files
-.LP
-Each class or interface and its members can have their own documentation comments, contained in a \f2.java\fP file. For more details about these doc comments, see Documentation Comments.
-.SS
-Package Comment Files
-.LP
-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.
-.LP
-To create a package comment file, you have a choice of two files to place your comments:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-\f2package\-info.java\fP \- Can contain a package declaration, package annotations, package comments and Javadoc tags. This file is generally preferred over package.html.
-.TP 2
-o
-\f2package.html\fP \- Can contain only package comments and Javadoc tags, no package annotations.
-.RE
-.LP
-A package may have a single \f2package.html\fP file or a single \f2package\-info.java\fP file but not both. Place either file in the package directory in the source tree along with your \f2.java\fP files.

By default, \f3javadoc\fR looks for the specified classes in the current directory\&. However, you can specify the full path to the class file and use wildcard characters, for example \f3/home/src/java/awt/Graphics*\&.java\fR\&. You can also specify the path relative to the current directory\&.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \f3javadoc\fR command parses the declarations and documentation comments in a set of Java source files and produces a corresponding set of HTML pages that describe (by default) the public and protected classes, nested classes (but not anonymous inner classes), interfaces, constructors, methods, and fields\&. You can use the \f3javadoc\fR command to generate the API documentation or the implementation documentation for a set of source files\&.
+.PP
+You can run the \f3javadoc\fR command on entire packages, individual source files, or both\&. When documenting entire packages, you can either use the \f3-subpackages\fR option to recursively traverse a directory and its subdirectories, or to pass in an explicit list of package names\&. When you document individual source files, pass in a list of Java source file names\&. See Simple Examples\&.
+.SS PROCESS\ SOURCE\ FILES
+The \f3javadoc\fR command processes files that end in source and other files described in Source Files\&. If you run the \f3javadoc\fR command by passing in individual source file names, then you can determine exactly which source files are processed\&. However, that is not how most developers want to work, because it is simpler to pass in package names\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command can be run three ways without explicitly specifying the source file names\&. You can pass in package names, use the \f3-subpackages\fR option, or use wild cards with source file names\&. In these cases, the \f3javadoc\fR command processes a source file only when the file fulfills all of the following requirements:

+You can add links to existing text for classes not included on the command line (but generated separately) by way of the \f3-link\fR and \f3-linkoffline\fR options\&.
+.PP
+Processing Details
+
+The \f3javadoc\fR command produces one complete document every time it runs\&. It does not do incremental builds that modify or directly incorporate the results from earlier runs\&. However, the \f3javadoc\fR command can link to results from other runs\&.
+.PP
+The \f3javadoc\fR command implementation requires and relies on the Java compiler\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command calls part of the \f3javac\fR command to compile the declarations and ignore the member implementations\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command builds a rich internal representation of the classes that includes the class hierarchy and use relationships to generate the HTML\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command also picks up user-supplied documentation from documentation comments in the source code\&. See Documentation Comments\&.
+.PP
+The \f3javadoc\fR command runs on source files that are pure stub files with no method bodies\&. This means you can write documentation comments and run the \f3javadoc\fR command in the early stages of design before API implementation\&.
+.PP
+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 \f3javadoc\fR command documents default constructors that are present in the compiled class files but not in the source code\&.
+.PP
+In many cases, the \f3javadoc\fR command lets you generate documentation for source files with incomplete or erroneous code\&. You can generate documentation before all debugging and troubleshooting is done\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command does primitive checking of documentation comments\&.
+.PP
+When the \f3javadoc\fR command builds its internal structure for the documentation, it loads all referenced classes\&. Because of this, the \f3javadoc\fR command must be able to find all referenced classes, whether bootstrap classes, extensions, or user classes\&. See How Classes Are Found at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/findingclasses\&.html
+.PP
+Typically, classes you create must either be loaded as an extension or in the \f3javadoc\fR command class path\&.
+.SS JAVADOC\ DOCLETS
+You can customize the content and format of the \f3javadoc\fR command output with doclets\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command has a default built-in doclet, called the standard doclet, that generates HTML-formatted API documentation\&. You can modify or make a subclass of the standard doclet, or write your own doclet to generate HTML, XML, MIF, RTF or whatever output format you want\&.
+.PP
+When a custom doclet is not specified with the \f3-doclet\fR option, the \f3javadoc\fR command uses the default standard doclet\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command has several options that are available regardless of which doclet is being used\&. The standard doclet adds a supplementary set of command-line options\&. See Options\&.
+.SH SOURCE\ FILES
+The \f3javadoc\fR command generates output that originates from the following types of source files: Java language source files for classes (\f3\&.java\fR), package comment files, overview comment files, and miscellaneous unprocessed files\&. This section also describes test files and template files that can also be in the source tree, but that you want to be sure not to document\&.
+.SS CLASS\ SOURCE\ FILES
+Each class or interface and its members can have their own documentation comments contained in a source file\&. See Documentation Comments\&.
+.SS PACKAGE\ COMMENT\ FILES

-Overview Comment File
-.LP
-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 generates. You typically include in this comment any documentation that applies to the entire application or set of packages.
-.LP
-To create an overview comment file, you can name the file anything you want, typically \f4overview.html\fP and place it anywhere, typically at the top level of the source tree. For example, if the source files for the \f2java.applet\fP package are contained in \f2/home/user/src/java/applet\fP directory, you could create an overview comment file at \f2/home/user/src/overview.html\fP.
-.LP
-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 different 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 documentation as public or internal in the first sentence of each overview comment file.
-.LP
-The content of the overview comment file is one big documentation comment, written in HTML, like the package comment file described previously. 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 \f2<body>\fP and the first sentence. You can include overview tags; as with any documentation comment, all tags except in\-line tags, such as \f2{@link}\fP, must appear after the main description. If you add a \f2@see\fP tag, it must have a fully\-qualified name.

-Miscellaneous Unprocessed Files
-.LP
-You can also include in your source any miscellaneous files that you want the Javadoc tool to copy to the destination directory. These typically includes graphic files, example Java source (.java) and class (.class) files, and self\-standing HTML files whose content would overwhelm the documentation comment of a normal Java source file.
-.LP
-To include unprocessed files, put them in a directory called \f4doc\-files\fP 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 button \f2button.gif\fP in the \f2java.awt.Button\fP class documentation, you place that file in the \f2/home/user/src/java/awt/doc\-files/\fP directory. Notice the \f2doc\-files\fP directory should not be located at \f2/home/user/src/java/doc\-files\fP because \f2java\fP is not a package \-\- that is, it does not directly contain any source files.
-.LP
-All links to these unprocessed files must be hard\-coded, because the Javadoc tool does not look at the files \-\- it simply copies the directory and all its contents to the destination. For example, the link in the \f2Button.java\fP doc comment might look like:

-Test Files and Template Files
-.LP
-Some developers have indicated they want to store test files and templates files in the source tree near their corresponding source files. That is, they would like to put them in the same directory, or a subdirectory, of those source files.
-.LP
-If you run the Javadoc tool by explicitly passing in individual source filenames, you can deliberately omit test and templates files and prevent 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.
-.LP
-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".
-.LP
-\f3Test files\fP \- Often developers want to put compilable, runnable test files for a given package in the \f2same\fP 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 \f2com.package1\fP, put them in a subdirectory that would be an invalid package name (because it contains a hyphen):
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- com/package1/test\-files/
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.LP
-The test directory will be skipped by the Javadoc tool with no warnings.
-.LP
-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 passing in their test source filenames with wildcards, such as \f2com/package1/test\-files/*.java\fP.
-.LP
-\f3Templates for source files\fP \- 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 \f2Buffer\-Template.java\fP), 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).
-.SH "GENERATED FILES"
-.LP
-By default, javadoc uses a standard doclet that generates HTML\-formatted 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 \f2package\-summary.html\fP). Files in the latter group contain hyphens to prevent filename conflicts with those in the former group.

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 Serializable is included, along with \f2readObject\fP and \f2writeObject\fP methods, the fields that are serialized, and the doc comments from the \f2@serial\fP, \f2@serialField\fP, and \f2@serialData\fP tags. Public serializable classes can be excluded by marking them (or their package) with \f2@serial exclude\fP, and package\-private serializable classes can be included by marking them (or their package) with \f2@serial include\fP.

-\f3HTML Frames\fP
-.LP
-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 \f2overview\-summary.html\fP. 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.
-.LP

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

-For example, the document generated for the class \f2java.applet.Applet\fP class would be located at \f2java/applet/Applet.html\fP. The file structure for the java.applet package follows, given that the destination directory is named \f2apidocs\fP.

-Generated API Declarations
-.LP
-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 \f2Boolean\fP class is:
-.LP
-\f2public final class Boolean\fP
-.br
-\f2extends Object\fP
-.br
-\f2implements Serializable\fP
-.LP
-and the declaration for the \f2Boolean.valueOf\fPmethod is:
-.LP
-\f2public static Boolean valueOf(String s)\fP
-.LP
-The Javadoc tool can include the modifiers \f2public\fP, \f2protected\fP, \f2private\fP, \f2abstract\fP, \f2final\fP, \f2static\fP, \f2transient\fP, and \f2volatile\fP, but not \f2synchronized\fP or \f2native\fP. These last two modifiers are considered implementation detail and not part of the API specification.
-.LP
-Rather than relying on the keyword \f2synchronized\fP, APIs should document their concurrency semantics in the comment's main description, as in "a single \f2Enumeration\fP cannot be used by multiple threads concurrently". The document should not describe how to achieve these semantics. As another example, while \f2Hashtable\fP should be thread\-safe, there's no reason 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.
-.SH "DOCUMENTATION COMMENTS"
-.LP
-The original "Documentation Comment Specification" can be found under related documentation.
-.SS
-Commenting the Source Code
-.LP
-You can include \f2documentation comments\fP ("doc comments") in the source code, ahead of declarations for any class, interface, method, constructor, or field. You can also create doc comments for each package and another one for the overview, though their syntax is slightly different. 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 \f2/**\fP that begin the comment and the characters \f2*/\fP 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.

+If you want a template file to be in the source directory, but not generate errors when you execute the \f3javadoc\fR command, then give it an invalid file name such as \f3Buffer-Template\&.java\fR to prevent it from being processed\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command only processes source files with names, when stripped of the \f3\&.java\fR suffix, that are valid class names\&.
+.SH GENERATED\ FILES
+By default, the \f3javadoc\fR command uses a standard doclet that generates HTML-formatted documentation\&. The standard doclet generates basic content, cross-reference, and support pages described here\&. Each HTML page corresponds to a separate file\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command generates two types of files\&. The first type is named after classes and interfaces\&. The second type contain hyphens (such as package-summary\&.html) to prevent conflicts with the first type of file\&.
+.SS BASIC\ CONTENT\ PAGES
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+One class or interface page (classname\&.html) for each class or interface being documented\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+One package page (package-summary\&.html) for each package being documented\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command includes any HTML text provided in a file with the name package\&.html or package-info\&.java in the package directory of the source tree\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+One overview page (overview-summary\&.html) for the entire set of packages\&. The overview page is the front page of the generated document\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command includes any HTML text provided in a file specified by the \f3-overview\fR option\&. The Overview page is created only when you pass two or more package names into the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. See HTML Frames and Options\&.
+.SS CROSS-REFERENCE\ PAGES
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+One class hierarchy page for the entire set of packages (overview-tree\&.html)\&. To view the hierarchy page, click \fIOverview\fR in the navigation bar and click \fITree\fR\&.

+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+One use page for each package (package-use\&.html) and a separate use page for each class and interface (class-use/classname\&.html)\&. The use page describes what packages, classes, methods, constructors and fields use any part of the specified class, interface, or package\&. For example, 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\&. To view the use page, go to the package, class, or interface and click the \fIUse\fR link in the navigation bar\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+A deprecated API page (deprecated-list\&.html) that lists all deprecated APIs and their suggested replacements\&. Avoid deprecated APIs because they can be removed in future implementations\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+A constant field values page (constant-values\&.html) for the values of static fields\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+A serialized form page (serialized-form\&.html) that provides information about serializable and externalizable classes with field and method descriptions\&. The information on this page is of interest to reimplementors, and not to developers who want to use the API\&. To access the serialized form page, go to any serialized class and click \fISerialized Form\fR in the See Also section of the class comment\&. The standard doclet generates a serialized form page that lists any class (public or non-public) that implements Serializable with its \f3readObject\fR and \f3writeObject\fR methods, the fields that are serialized, and the documentation comments from the \f3@serial\fR, \f3@serialField\fR, and \f3@serialData\fR tags\&. Public serializable classes can be excluded by marking them (or their package) with \f3@serial\fR exclude, and package-private serializable classes can be included by marking them (or their package) with an \f3@serial\fR include\&. As of Release 1\&.4, you can generate the complete serialized form for public and private classes by running the \f3javadoc\fR command without specifying the \f3-private\fR option\&. See Options\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+An index page (\f3index-*\&.html\fR) of all class, interface, constructor, field and method names, in alphabetical order\&. The index page is internationalized for Unicode and can be generated as a single file or as a separate file for each starting character (such as A\(enZ for English)\&.
+.SS SUPPORT\ PAGES

+.PP
+See Options\&.
+.SS HTML\ FRAMES
+The \f3javadoc\fR command generates the minimum number of frames (two or three) necessary based on the values passed to the command\&. It omits the list of packages when you pass a single package name or source files that belong to a single package as an argument to the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. Instead, the \f3javadoc\fR command creates one frame in the left-hand column that displays the list of classes\&. When you pass two or more package names, the \f3javadoc\fR command creates a third frame that lists all packages and an overview page (overview-summary\&.html)\&. To bypass frames, click the \fINo Frames\fR link or enter the page set from the overview-summary\&.html page\&.
+.SS GENERATED\ FILE\ STRUCTURE
+The generated class and interface files are organized in the same directory hierarchy that Java source files and class files are organized\&. This structure is one directory per subpackage\&.
+.PP
+For example, the document generated for the \f3java\&.applet\&.Applet\fR class would be located at java/applet/Applet\&.html\&.
+.PP
+The file structure for the \f3java\&.applet\fR package follows, assuming that the destination directory is named \f3apidocs\fR\&. All files that contain the word \fIframe\fR appear in the upper-left or lower-left frames, as noted\&. All other HTML files appear in the right-hand frame\&.
+.PP
+Directories are bold\&. The asterisks (*) indicate the files and directories that are omitted when the arguments to the \f3javadoc\fR command are source file names rather than package names\&. When arguments are source file names, an empty package list is created\&. The doc-files directory is not created in the destination unless it exists in the source tree\&. See Generated Files\&.

+.SS GENERATED\ API\ DECLARATIONS
+The \f3javadoc\fR command 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 \f3Boolean\fR class is:

+.nf
+\f3public final class Boolean\fP

+.nf
+\f3implements Serializable\fP

+The declaration for the \f3Boolean\&.valueOf\fR method is:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3public static Boolean valueOf(String s)\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+The \f3javadoc\fR command can include the modifiers \f3public\fR, \f3protected\fR, \f3private\fR, \f3abstract\fR, \f3final\fR, \f3static\fR, \f3transient\fR, and \f3volatile\fR, but not \f3synchronized\fR or \f3native\fR\&. The \f3synchronized\fR and \f3native\fR modifiers are considered implementation detail and not part of the API specification\&.
+.PP
+Rather than relying on the keyword \f3synchronized\fR, APIs should document their concurrency semantics in the main description of the comment\&. For example, a description might be: A single enumeration cannot be used by multiple threads concurrently\&. The document should not describe how to achieve these semantics\&. As another example, while the \f3Hashtable\fR option should be thread-safe, there is no reason to specify that it is achieved by synchronizing all of its exported methods\&. It is better to reserve the right to synchronize internally at the bucket level for higher concurrency\&.
+.SH DOCUMENTATION\ COMMENTS
+This section describes source code comments and comment inheritance\&.
+.SS SOURCE\ CODE\ COMMENTS
+You can include documentation comments in the source code, ahead of declarations for any class, interface, method, constructor, or field\&. You can also create documentation comments for each package and another one for the overview, though their syntax is slightly different\&. A documentation comment consists of the characters between \f3/**\fR and \f3*/\fR that end it\&. Leading asterisks are allowed on each line and are described further in the following section\&. The text in a comment can continue onto multiple lines\&.
+.sp

+.sp
To save space you can put a comment on one line:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-/** This comment takes up only one line. */
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.LP
-\f3Placement of comments\fP \- 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.
-.LP
-A common mistake is to put an \f2import\fP statement between the class comment and the class declaration. Avoid this, as the Javadoc tool will ignore the class comment.

-.LP
-\f3A doc comment is composed of a \fP\f4main description\fP\f3 followed by a \fP\f4tag section\fP \- The \f2main description\fP begins after the starting delimiter \f2/**\fP and continues until the tag section. The \f2tag section\fP starts with the first block tag, which is defined by the first \f2@\fP character that begins a line (ignoring leading asterisks, white space, and leading separator \f2/**\fP). 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 cannot. For example, this \f2@see\fP starts the tag section:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-/**
-.fl
- * This sentence would hold the main description for this doc comment.
-.fl
- * @see java.lang.Object
-.fl
- */
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.LP
-\f3Block tags and in\-line tags\fP \- A \f2tag\fP 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 \f2@tag\fP (also known as "standalone tags"), and in\-line tags, which appear within curly braces, as \f2{@tag}\fP. To be interpreted, a block tag must appear at the beginning of a line, ignoring leading asterisks, white space, and separator (\f2/**\fP). This means you can use the \f2@\fP character elsewhere in the text and it will not be interpreted as the start of a tag. If you want to start a line with the \f2@\fP character and not have it be interpreted, use the HTML entity \f2@\fP. 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 \f2@deprecated\fP and in\-line tag \f2{@link}\fP.
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-/**
-.fl
- * @deprecated As of JDK 1.1, replaced by {@link #setBounds(int,int,int,int)}
-.fl
- */
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.LP
-\f3Comments are written in HTML\fP \- 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.)
-.LP
-For example, entities for the less\-than (\f2<\fP) and greater\-than (\f2>\fP) symbols should be written \f2<\fP and \f2>\fP. Likewise, the ampersand (\f2&\fP) should be written \f2&\fP. The bold HTML tag \f2<b>\fP is shown in the following example.
-.LP
-Here is a doc comment:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-/**
-.fl
- * This is a <b>doc</b> comment.
-.fl
- * @see java.lang.Object
-.fl
- */
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.LP
-\f3Leading asterisks\fP \- When javadoc parses a doc comment, leading asterisk (\f2*\fP) characters on each line are discarded; blanks and tabs preceding the initial asterisk (\f2*\fP) 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 \f2<PRE>\fP tag, and its indentation will be honored. Spaces are generally interpreted by browsers more uniformly than tabs. Indentation is relative to the left margin (rather than the separator \f2/**\fP or \f2<PRE>\fP tag).
-.LP
-\f3First sentence\fP \- 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 followed 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.
-.LP
-\f3Declaration with multiple fields\fP \- Java allows declaring multiple fields in a single statement, but this statement can have only one documentation 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 documentation comment doesn't make sense written as a single declaration and would be better handled as two declarations:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-/**
-.fl
- * The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x,y)
-.fl
- */
-.fl
-public int x, y; // Avoid this
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.LP
-The Javadoc tool generates the following documentation from the above code:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-public int \fP\f3x\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-.RS 3
-The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x,y)

-public int \fP\f3y\fP

-.RE
-.LP
-\f3Use header tags carefully\fP \- 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 generated document. However, it is fine to use these headings in class and package comments to provide your own structure.
-.SS
-Automatic Copying of Method Comments
-.LP
-The Javadoc tool has the ability to copy or "inherit" method comments in classes and interfaces under the following two circumstances. Constructors, fields and nested classes do not inherit doc comments.
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Automatically inherit comment to fill in missing text\fP \- When a main description, or \f2@return\fP, \f2@param\fP or \f2@throws\fP 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.
-.LP
-More specifically, when a \f2@param\fP 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 \f2@throws\fP tag for a particular exception is missing, the \f2@throws\fP tag is copied \f2only if that exception is declared\fP.
-.LP
-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.
-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Explicitly inherit comment with {@inheritDoc} tag\fP \- Insert the inline tag \f2{@inheritDoc}\fP in a method main description or \f2@return\fP, \f2@param\fP or \f2@throws\fP tag comment \-\- the corresponding inherited main description or tag comment is copied into that spot.
-.RE
-.LP
-The source file for the inherited method need only be on the path specified 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
-.LP
-\f3Inherit from classes and interfaces\fP \- Inheriting of comments occurs in all three possible cases of inheritance from classes and interfaces:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-When a method in a class overrides a method in a superclass
-.TP 2
-o
-When a method in an interface overrides a method in a superinterface
-.TP 2
-o
-When a method in a class implements a method in an interface
-.RE
-.LP
-In the first two cases, for method overrides, the Javadoc tool generates 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.
-.LP
-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.
-.LP
-\f3Algorithm for Inheriting Method Comments\fP \- 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:
-.RS 3
-.TP 3
-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.
-.TP 3
-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.
-.TP 3
-3.
-If step 2 failed to find a doc comment and this is a class other than Object (not an interface):
-.RS 3
-.TP 3
-a.
-If the superclass has a doc comment for this method, use it.
-.TP 3
-b.
-If step 3a failed to find a doc comment, recursively apply this entire algorithm to the superclass.
-.RE
-.RE
-.SH "JAVADOC TAGS"
-.LP
-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 (\f2@\fP) and are case\-sensitive \-\- they must be typed with the uppercase 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 \f2@see\fP tags together.
-.LP
-Tags come in two types:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2

-\f3Block tags\fP \- Can be placed only in the tag section that follows the main description. Block tags are of the form: \f2@tag\fP.

-@author\ name\-text
-Adds an "Author" entry with the specified \f2name\-text\fP to the generated docs when the \-author option is used. A doc comment may contain multiple \f2@author\fP tags. You can specify one name per \f2@author\fP tag or multiple names per tag. In the former case, the Javadoc tool inserts a comma (\f2,\fP) 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.
+Documentation comments are recognized only when placed immediately before class, interface, constructor, method, or field declarations\&. Documentation comments placed in the body of a method are ignored\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command recognizes only one documentation comment per declaration statement\&. See Where Tags Can Be Used\&.
+.PP
+A common mistake is to put an \f3import\fR statement between the class comment and the class declaration\&. Do not put an \f3import\fR statement at this location because the \f3javadoc\fR command ignores the class comment\&.

+Parts of Comments
+
+A documentation comment has a main description followed by a tag section\&. The main description begins after the starting delimiter \f3/**\fR and continues until the tag section\&. The tag section starts with the first block tag, which is defined by the first \f3@\fR character that begins a line (ignoring leading asterisks, white space, and leading separator \f3/**\fR)\&. 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, and some types of tags can be repeated while others cannot\&. For example, this \f3@see\fR tag starts the tag section:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3/**\fP

+.PP
+Block and inline Tags
+
+A tag is a special keyword within a documentation comment that the \f3javadoc\fR command processes\&. There are two kinds of tags: block tags, which appear as an \f3@tag\fR tag (also known as standalone tags), and inline tags, which appear within braces, as an \f3{@tag}\fR tag\&. To be interpreted, a block tag must appear at the beginning of a line, ignoring leading asterisks, white space, and the separator (\f3/**\fR)\&. This means you can use the \f3@\fR character elsewhere in the text and it will not be interpreted as the start of a tag\&. If you want to start a line with the \f3@\fR character and not have it be interpreted, then use the HTML entity \f3@\fR\&. 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 documentation comment\&. This associated text can span multiple lines\&. An inline tag is allowed and interpreted anywhere that text is allowed\&. The following example contains the \f3@deprecated\fR block tag and the \f3{@link}\fR inline tag\&. See Javadoc Tags\&.

+.sp

+.PP
+Write Comments in HTML
+
+The text must be written in HTML with HTML entities and HTML tags\&. You can use whichever version of HTML your browser supports\&. The standard doclet generates HTML 3\&.2-compliant code elsewhere (outside of the documentation comments) with the inclusion of cascading style sheets and frames\&. HTML 4\&.0 is preferred for generated files because of the frame sets\&.
+.PP
+For example, entities for the less than symbol (<) and the greater than symbol (>) should be written as \f3<\fR and \f3>\fR\&. Similarly, the ampersand (&) should be written as \f3&\fR\&. The bold HTML tag \f3<b>\fR is shown in the following example\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3/**\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 * This is a <b>doc</b> comment\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 * @see java\&.lang\&.Object\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 */\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+.PP
+Leading Asterisks
+
+When the \f3javadoc\fR command parses a documentation comment, leading asterisks (*) on each line are discarded, and blanks and tabs that precede the initial asterisks (*) are also discarded\&. If you omit the leading asterisk on a line, then the leading white space is no longer removed so that you can paste code examples directly into a documentation comment inside a \f3<PRE>\fR tag with its indentation preserved\&. Spaces are interpreted by browsers more uniformly than tabs\&. Indentation is relative to the left margin (rather than the separator \f3/**\fR or \f3<PRE>\fR tag)\&.
+.PP
+First Sentence
+
+The first sentence of each documentation comment should be a summary sentence that contains a concise but complete description of the declared entity\&. This sentence ends at the first period that is followed by a blank, tab, or line terminator, or at the first block tag\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command copies this first sentence to the member summary at the top of the HTML page\&.
+.PP
+Multiple-Field Declarations
+
+The Java platform lets you declare multiple fields in a single statement, but this statement can have only one documentation comment that is copied for all fields\&. If you want individual documentation comments for each field, then declare each field in a separate statement\&. For example, the following documentation comment does not make sense written as a single declaration and would be better handled as two declarations:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3/** \fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 * The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x,y)\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 */\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3public int x, y; // Avoid this \fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+The \f3javadoc\fR command generates the following documentation from the previous code:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3public int x\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x, y)\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3public int y\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+The horizontal and vertical distances of point (x, y)\&.
+.PP
+Use of Header Tags
+
+When writing documentation comments for members, it is best not to use HTML heading tags such as \f3<H1>\fR and \f3<H2>\fR, because the \f3javadoc\fR command creates an entire structured document, and these structural tags might interfere with the formatting of the generated document\&. However, you can use these headings in class and package comments to provide your own structure\&.
+.SS METHOD\ COMMENT\ INHERITANCE
+The \f3javadoc\fR command allows method comment inheritance in classes and interfaces to fill in missing text or to explicitly inherit method comments\&. Constructors, fields, and nested classes do not inherit documentation comments\&.
+.PP
+\fINote:\fR The source file for an inherited method must be on the path specified by the \f3-sourcepath\fR option for the documentation comment to be available to copy\&. Neither the class nor its package needs to be passed in on the command line\&. This contrasts with Release 1\&.3\&.\fIn\fR and earlier releases, where the class had to be a documented class\&.
+.PP
+Fill in Missing Text
+
+When a main description, or \f3@return\fR, \f3@param\fR, or \f3@throws\fR tag is missing from a method comment, the \f3javadoc\fR command copies the corresponding main description or tag comment from the method it overrides or implements (if any)\&. See Method Comment Inheritance\&.
+.PP
+When an \f3@param\fR tag for a particular parameter is missing, the comment for that parameter is copied from the method further up the inheritance hierarchy\&. When an \f3@throws\fR tag for a particular exception is missing, the \f3@throws\fR tag is copied only when that exception is declared\&.
+.PP
+This behavior contrasts with Release 1\&.3 and earlier, where the presence of any main description or tag would prevent all comments from being inherited\&.
+.PP
+See Javadoc Tags and Options\&.
+.PP
+Explicit Inheritance
+
+Insert the \f3{@inheritDoc}\fR inline tag in a method main description or \f3@return\fR, \f3@param\fR, or \f3@throws\fR tag comment\&. The corresponding inherited main description or tag comment is copied into that spot\&.
+.SS CLASS\ AND\ INTERFACE\ INHERITANCE
+Comment inheritance occurs in all possible cases of inheritance from classes and interfaces:
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+When a method in a class overrides a method in a superclass
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+When a method in an interface overrides a method in a superinterface
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+When a method in a class implements a method in an interface
+.PP
+In the first two cases, the \f3javadoc\fR command generates the subheading \fIOverrides\fR in the documentation for the overriding method\&. A link to the method being overridden is included, whether or not the comment is inherited\&.
+.PP
+In the third case, when a method in a specified class implements a method in an interface, the \f3javadoc\fR command generates the subheading \fISpecified by\fR in the documentation for the overriding method\&. A link to the method being implemented is included, whether or not the comment is inherited\&.
+.SS METHOD\ COMMENTS\ ALGORITHM
+If a method does not have a documentation comment, or has an \f3{@inheritDoc}\fR tag, then the \f3javadoc\fR command uses the following algorithm to search for an applicable comment\&. The algorithm is designed to find the most specific applicable documentation comment, and to give preference to interfaces over superclasses:
+.TP 0.4i
+1\&.
+Look in each directly implemented (or extended) interface in the order they appear following the word \f3implements\fR (or \f3extends\fR) in the method declaration\&. Use the first documentation comment found for this method\&.
+.TP 0.4i
+2\&.
+If Step 1 failed to find a documentation comment, then recursively apply this entire algorithm to each directly implemented (or extended) interface in the same order they were examined in Step 1\&.
+.TP 0.4i
+3\&.
+When Step 2 fails to find a documentation comment and this is a class other than the \f3Object\fR class, but not an interface:
+.RS
+.TP 0.4i
+1\&.
+If the superclass has a documentation comment for this method, then use it\&.
+.TP 0.4i

+If Step 3a failed to find a documentation comment, then recursively apply this entire algorithm to the superclass\&.
+.RE
+
+.SH JAVADOC\ TAGS
+The \f3javadoc\fR command parses special tags when they are embedded within a Java documentation comment\&. The \f3javadoc\fR tags let you autogenerate a complete, well-formatted API from your source code\&. The tags start with an at sign (\f3@\fR) and are case-sensitive\&. They must be typed with the uppercase 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 text\&. By convention, tags with the same name are grouped together\&. For example, put all \f3@see\fR tags together\&. For more information, see Where Tags Can Be Used\&.
+.PP
+Tags have the following types:
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+Bock tags: Place block tags only in the tag section that follows the description\&. Block tags have the form: \fI@tag\fR\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+Inline tags: Place inline tags anywhere in the main description or in the comments for block tags\&. Inline tags are enclosed within braces: \fI{@tag}\fR\&.
+.PP
+For custom tags, see -tag tagname:Xaoptcmf:"taghead"\&. See also Where Tags Can Be Used\&.
+.SS TAG\ DESCRIPTIONS
+.TP
+@author \fIname-text\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.0
+
+Adds an Author entry with the specified name text to the generated documents when the \f3-author\fR option is used\&. A documentation comment can contain multiple \f3@author\fR tags\&. You can specify one name per \f3@author\fR tag or multiple names per tag\&. In the former case, the \f3javadoc\fR command inserts a comma (,) and space between names\&. In the latter case, the entire text is 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 a comma\&. See @author in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#@author
+.TP
+{@code \fItext\fR}
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.5
+
+Equivalent to \f3<code>{@literal}</code>\fR\&.
+
+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 (\f3<\fR and \f3>\fR) in documentation comments, such as in parameter types (\f3<Object>\fR), inequalities (\f33 < 4\fR), or arrows (\f3<-\fR)\&. For example, the documentation comment text \f3{@code A<B>C}\fR displayed in the generated HTML page unchanged as \f3A<B>C\fR\&. This means that the \f3<B>\fR is not interpreted as bold and is in code font\&. If you want the same functionality without the code font, then use the \f3{@literal}\fR tag\&.
+.TP
+@deprecated \fIdeprecated-text\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.0
+
+Adds a comment indicating that this API should no longer be used (even though it may continue to work)\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command moves \f3deprecated-text\fRahead of the main description, placing it in italics and preceding it with a bold warning: Deprecated\&. This tag is valid in all documentation comments: overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method and field\&.
+
+The first sentence of deprecated text should tell the user when the API was deprecated and what to use as a replacement\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command copies the first sentence to the summary section and index\&. Subsequent sentences can also explain why it was deprecated\&. You should include an \f3{@link}\fR tag (for Javadoc 1\&.2 or later) that points to the replacement API\&.
+
+Use the \fI@deprecated annotation\fR tag to deprecate a program element\&. See How and When to Deprecate APIs at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/deprecation/deprecation\&.html
+
+See also @deprecated in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#@deprecated
+.TP
+{@docRoot}
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.3
+
+Represents the relative path to the generated document\&'s (destination) root directory from any generated page\&. This tag 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\&. Linking to the copyright page from the bottom of each page is common\&.
+
+This \f3{@docRoot}\fR tag can be used both on the command line and in a documentation comment\&. This tag is valid in all documentation comments: overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method and field, and includes the text portion of any tag (such as the \f3@return\fR, \f3@param\fR and \f3@deprecated\fR tags)\&.
+.RS
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+On the command line, where the header, footer, or bottom are defined: \f3javadoc -bottom \&'<a href="{@docRoot}/copyright\&.html">Copyright</a>\&'\fR\&.
+
+When you use the \f3{@docRoot}\fR tag this way in a make file, some \f3makefile\fR programs require a special way to escape for the brace \f3{}\fR characters\&. For example, the Inprise MAKE version 5\&.2 running on Windows requires double braces: \f3{{@docRoot}}\fR\&.

-Adds a comment indicating that this API should no longer be used (even though it may continue to work). The Javadoc tool moves the \f2deprecated\-text\fP 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.
-.LP
-The first sentence of \f2deprecated\-text\fP 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 deprecated. You should include a \f2{@link}\fP tag (for Javadoc 1.2 or later) that points to the replacement API:

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. Linking to the copyright page from the bottom of each page is common.

-{@link\ package.class#member\ label}
-Inserts an in\-line link with visible text \f2label\fP 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).
-.LP
-This tag is very simliar to \f2@see\fP \-\- both require the same references and accept exactly the same syntax for \f2package.class\fP\f2#\fP\f2member\fP and \f2label\fP. The main difference is that \f2{@link}\fP generates an in\-line link rather than placing the link in the "See Also" section. Also, the \f2{@link}\fP 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 }
-.LP
-There is no limit to the number of \f2{@link}\fP tags allowed in a sentence. You can use this tag in the main description part of any documentation comment or in the text portion of any tag (such as @deprecated, @return or @param).
-.LP

-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
-Use the {@link #getComponentAt(int, int) getComponentAt} method.

The \f2class\fP represents any top\-level or nested class or interface. The \f2member\fP represents any constructor, method or field (not a nested class or interface). If this name is in the documented classes, the Javadoc tool will automatically create a link to it. To create links to external referenced classes, use the \f2\-link\fP option.

-\f3Specifying a name\fP \- This \f2package.class\fP\f2#\fP\f2member\fP name can be either fully\-qualified, such as \f2java.lang.String#toUpperCase()\fP or not, such as \f2String#toUpperCase()\fP or \f2#toUpperCase()\fP. 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.
-.LP
-Of course the advantage of providing shorter, "partially\-qualified" names is that they are shorter to type and there is less clutter in the source code.

+{@link \fIpackage\&.class#member label\fR}
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.2
+
+Inserts an inline link with a 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 documentation comments: overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method and field, including the text portion of any tag, such as the \f3@return\fR, \f3@param\fR and \f3@deprecated\fR tags\&. See @link in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#{@link
+
+This tag is similar to the \f3@see\fR tag\&. Both tags require the same references and accept the same syntax for \f3package\&.class#member\fR and \f3label\fR\&. The main difference is that the \f3{@link}\fR tag generates an inline link rather than placing the link in the See Also section\&. The \f3{@link}\fR tag begins and ends with braces to separate it from the rest of the inline text\&. If you need to use the right brace (\f3}\fR) inside the label, then use the HTML entity notation \f3}\fR\&.
+
+There is no limit to the number of \f3{@link}\fR tags allowed in a sentence\&. You can use this tag in the main description part of any documentation comment or in the text portion of any tag, such as the \f3@deprecated\fR, \f3@return\fR or \f3@param\fR tags\&.
+
+For example, here is a comment that refers to the \f3getComponentAt(int, int)\fR method:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3Use the {@link #getComponentAt(int, int) getComponentAt} method\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+
+From this code, the standard doclet generates the following HTML (assuming it refers to another class in the same package):
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3Use the <a href="Component\&.html#getComponentAt(int, int)">getComponentAt</a> method\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp

+{@linkplain \fIpackage\&.class#member label\fR}
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.4
+
+Behaves the same as the \f3{@link}\fR tag, except the link label is displayed in plain text rather than code font\&. Useful when the label is plain text\&. For example, \f3Refer to {@linkplain add() the overridden method}\fR\&. displays as: Refer to the overridden method\&.
+.TP
+{@literal \fItext\fR}
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.5
+
+Displays text without interpreting the text as HTML markup or nested Javadoc tags\&. This enables you to use angle brackets (\f3< and >\fR) instead of the HTML entities (\f3<\fR and \f3>\fR) in documentation comments, such as in parameter types (\f3<Object>\fR), inequalities (\f33 < 4\fR), or arrows (<-)\&. For example, the documentation comment text \f3{@literal A<B>C}\fR displays unchanged in the generated HTML page in your browser, as \f3A<B>C\fR\&. The \f3<B>\fR is not interpreted as bold (and it is not in code font)\&. If you want the same functionality with the text in code font, then use the \f3{@code}\fR tag\&.
+.TP
+@param \fIparameter-name description\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.0
+
+Adds a parameter with the specified \f3parameter-name\fR followed by the specified description to the Parameters section\&. When writing the documentation comment, you can continue the description onto multiple lines\&. This tag is valid only in a documentation comment for a method, constructor, or class\&. See @param in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#@param
+
+The \f3parameter-name\fR 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 specify the use of a type parameter\&.
+
+Example of a type parameter of a class:

+@return \fIdescription\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.0
+
+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 documentation comment for a method\&.

+.TP
+@see \fIreference\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.0
+
+Adds a \fISee Also\fR heading with a link or text entry that points to a reference\&. A documentation comment can contain any number of \f3@see\fR tags, which are all grouped under the same heading\&. The \f3@see\fR tag has three variations\&. The form is the most common\&. This tag is valid in any documentation comment: overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method, or field\&. For inserting an inline link within a sentence to a package, class, or member, see \f3{@link}\fR\&.
+
+\fIForm 1\fR\&. The @see \f3string\fR tag form adds a text entry for \fIstring\fR\&. No link is generated\&. The string is a book or other reference to information not available by URL\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command distinguishes this from the previous cases by searching for a double quotation mark (") as the first character\&. For example, \f3@see "The Java Programming Language"\fR that generates the following text:
+
+\fISee Also\fR:
+
+"The Java Programming Language"
+
+\fIForm 2\fR\&. The \f3@see <a href="URL#value">label</a>\fR form adds a link as defined by \f3URL#value\fR\&. The \f3URL#value\fR parameter is a relative or absolute URL\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command distinguishes this from other cases by searching for a less-than symbol (\f3<\fR) as the first character\&. For example, \f3@see <a href="spec\&.html#section">Java Spec</a>\fR generates the following link:
+
+\fISee Also\fR:
+
+Java Spec
+
+\fIForm 3\fR\&. The \f3@see package\&.class#member label\fR form adds a link with a visible text label that points to the documentation for the specified name in the Java Language that is referenced\&. The label is optional\&. If the label is omitted, then the name appears instead as visible text, suitably shortened\&. Use the \f3-noqualifier\fR option to globally remove the package name from this visible text\&. Use the label when you want the visible text to be different from the autogenerated visible text\&. See How a Name Appears\&.
+
+In Java SE 1\&.2 only, the name but not the label automatically appears in \f3<code>\fR HTML tags\&. Starting with Java SE 1\&.2\&.2, the \f3<code>\fR tag is always included around the visible text, whether or not a label is used\&.

+\f3package\&.class#member\fR is any valid program element name that is referenced, such as a package, class, interface, constructor, method or field name, except that the character ahead of the member name should be a number sign (\f3#\fR)\&. 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 documented classes, then the \f3javadoc\fR command create a link to it\&. To create links to external referenced classes, use the \f3-link\fR option\&. Use either of the other two \f3@see\fR tag forms to refer to the documentation of a name that does not belong to a referenced class\&. See Specify a Name\&.

+\fINote:\fR External referenced classes are classes that are not passed into the \f3javadoc\fR command on the command line\&. Links in the generated documentation to external referenced classes are called external references or external links\&. For example, if you run the \f3javadoc\fR command on only the \f3java\&.awt package\fR, then any class in \f3java\&.lang\fR, such as \f3Object\fR, is an external referenced class\&.

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.

-\f3Examples of @see\fP
+.RS
+For example, the \f3javax\&.swing\fR package is marked with the \f3@serial\fR\f3exclude\fR tag in package\&.html or package-info\&.java\&. The public class \f3java\&.security\&.BasicPermission\fR is marked with the \f3@serial exclude\fR tag\&. The package-private class \f3java\&.util\&.PropertyPermissionCollection\fR is marked with the \f3@serial include\fR tag\&.
+
+The \f3@serial\fR tag at the class level overrides the \f3@serial\fR tag at the package level\&.
+
+.RE
+.TP
+@serialData \fIdata-description\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.2
+
+Uses the data description value to document the types and order of data in the serialized form\&. This data includes the optional data written by the \f3writeObject\fR method and all data (including base classes) written by the \f3Externalizable\&.writeExternal\fR method\&.
+
+The \f3@serialData\fR tag can be used in the documentation comment for the \f3writeObject\fR, \f3readObject\fR, \f3writeExternal\fR, \f3readExternal\fR, \f3writeReplace\fR, and \f3readResolve\fR methods\&.
+.TP
+@serialField \fIfield-name\fR\fIfield-type\fR\fIfield-description\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.2
+
+Documents an \f3ObjectStreamField\fR component of the \f3serialPersistentFields\fR member of a \f3Serializable\fR class\&. Use one \f3@serialField\fR tag for each \f3ObjectStreamField\fR component\&.
+.TP
+@since \fIsince-text\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.1
+
+Adds a \fISince\fR heading with the specified \f3since-text\fR value to the generated documentation\&. The text has no special internal structure\&. This tag is valid in any documentation comment: overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method, or field\&. This tag means that this change or feature has existed since the software release specified by the \f3since-text\fR value, for example: \f3@since 1\&.5\fR\&.
+
+For Java platform source code, the \f3@since\fR tag indicates the version of the Java platform API specification, which is not necessarily when the source code was added to the reference implementation\&. Multiple \f3@since\fR tags are allowed and are treated like multiple \f3@author\fR tags\&. You could use multiple tags when the program element is used by more than one API\&.
+.TP
+@throws \fIclass-name\fR\fIdescription\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.2
+
+Behaves the same as the \f3@exception\fR tag\&. See @throws in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#@exception
+
+The \f3@throws\fR tag adds a \fIThrows\fR subheading to the generated documentation, with the \f3class-name\fR and \f3description\fR text\&. The \fIclass-name\fR is the name of the exception that might be thrown by the method\&. This tag is valid only in the documentation comment for a method or constructor\&. If this class is not fully specified, then the \f3javadoc\fR command uses the search order to look up this class\&. Multiple \f3@throws\fR tags can be used in a specified documentation comment for the same or different exceptions\&. See Search Order for the @see Tag\&.
+
+To ensure that all checked exceptions are documented, when an \f3@throws\fR tag does not exist for an exception in the throws clause, the \f3javadoc\fR command adds that exception to the HTML output (with no description) as though it were documented with the \f3@throws\fR tag\&.
+
+The \f3@throws\fR documentation is copied from an overridden method to a subclass only when the exception is explicitly declared in the overridden method\&. The same is true for copying from an interface method to an implementing method\&. You can use the \f3{@inheritDoc}\fR tag to force the \f3@throws\fR tag to inherit documentation\&.
+.TP
+{@value \fIpackage\&.class#field\fR}
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.4
+
+Displays constant values\&. When the \f3{@value}\fR tag is used without an argument in the documentation comment of a static field, it displays the value of that constant:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3/**\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 * The value of this constant is {@value}\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 */\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3public static final String SCRIPT_START = "<script>"\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+
+When used with the argument \f3package\&.class#field\fR in any documentation comment, he \f3{@value}\fR tag displays the value of the specified constant:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3/**\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 * Evaluates the script starting with {@value #SCRIPT_START}\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3 */\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3public String evalScript(String script) {}\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+
+The argument \f3package\&.class#field\fR takes a form similar to that of the \f3@see\fR tag argument, except that the member must be a static field\&.
+
+The values of these constants are also displayed in Constant Field Values at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/api/constant-values\&.html
+.TP
+@version \fIversion-text\fR
+Introduced in JDK 1\&.0
+
+Adds a \fIVersion\fR subheading with the specified \f3version-text\fR value to the generated documents when the \f3-version\fR option is used\&. This tag is intended to hold the current release number of the software that this code is part of, as opposed to the\f3@since\fR tag, which holds the release number where this code was introduced\&. The \f3version-text\fR value has no special internal structure\&. See @version in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#@version
+
+A documentation comment can contain multiple \f3@version\fR tags\&. When it makes sense, you can specify one release number per \f3@version\fR tag or multiple release numbers per tag\&. In the former case, the \f3javadoc\fR command inserts a comma (,) and a space between the names\&. In the latter case, the entire text is copied to the generated document without being parsed\&. Therefore, you can use multiple names per line when you want a localized name separator other than a comma\&.
+.SH WHERE\ TAGS\ CAN\ BE\ USED
+The following sections describe where tags can be used\&. Note that the following tags can be used in all documentation comments: \f3@see\fR, \f3@since\fR, \f3@deprecated\fR, \f3{@link}\fR, \f3{@linkplain}\fR, and \f3{@docroot}\fR\&.
+.SS OVERVIEW\ 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)\&. Similar to any other documentation comments, these tags must appear after the main description
+.PP
+\fINote:\fR The \f3{@link}\fR tag has a bug in overview documents in Java SE 1\&.2\&. The text appears correctly but has no link\&. The \f3{@docRoot}\fR tag does not currently work in overview documents\&.
+.PP
+The overview tags are the following:
+.PP
+@see reference || @since since-text || @serialField field-name field-type field-description || @author name-text || @version version-text || {@link package\&.class#member label} || {@linkplain package\&.class#member label} || {@docRoot} ||
+.SS PACKAGE\ TAGS
+Package tags are tags that can appear in the documentation comment for a package, that resides in the source file named package\&.html or package-info\&.java\&. The \f3@serial\fR tag can only be used here with the \f3include\fR or \f3exclude\fR argument\&.
+.PP
+The package tags are the following:
+.PP
+@see reference || @since since-text || @serial field-description | include | exclude || @author name-text || @version version-text || {@linkplain package\&.class#member label} || {@linkplain package\&.class#member label} || {@docRoot} ||
+.SS CLASS\ AND\ INTERFACE\ TAGS
+The following are tags that can appear in the documentation comment for a class or interface\&. The \f3@serial\fR tag can only be used within the documentation for a class or interface with an \f3include\fR or \f3exclude\fR argument\&.
+.PP
+@see reference || @since since-text || @deprecated deprecated-text || @serial field-description | include | exclude || @author name-text || @version version-text || {@link package\&.class#member label} || {@linkplain package\&.class#member label} || {@docRoot} ||

+.SH OPTIONS
+The \f3javadoc\fR command uses doclets to determine its output\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command uses the default standard doclet unless a custom doclet is specified with the \f3-doclet\fR option\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command provides a set of command-line options that can be used with any doclet\&. These options are described in Javadoc Options\&. The standard doclet provides an additional set of command-line options that are described in Standard Doclet Options\&.

+
+While you can use any name you want for the \f3filename\fR value and place it anywhere you want for the path, it is typical 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, because the \f3-sourcepath\fR option points to this file\&.
+
+For example, if the source tree for the \f3java\&.lang\fR package is /src/classes/java/lang/, then you could place the overview file at /src/classes/overview\&.html

+
+When the \f3-Xdoclint\fR is enabled, it reports issues with messages similar to the \f3javac\fR command\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command prints a message, a copy of the source line, and a caret pointing at the exact position where the error was detected\&. Messages may be either warnings or errors, depending on their severity and the likelihood to cause an error if the generated documentation were run through a validator\&. For example, bad references or missing Javadoc comments do not cause the \f3javadoc\fR command to generate invalid HTML, so these issues are reported as warnings\&. Syntax errors or missing HTML end tags cause the \f3javadoc\fR command to generate invalid output, so these issues are reported as errors\&.

-Adds a "Since" heading with the specified \f2since\-text\fP to the generated documentation. The text has no special internal structure.

-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).

-@throws\ class\-name\ description
-The \f2@throws\fP and \f2@exception\fP tags are synonyms. Adds a "Throws" subheading to the generated documentation, with the \f2class\-name\fP and \f2description\fP text. The \f2class\-name\fP 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 \f2@throws\fP tags can be used in a given doc comment for the same or different exceptions.
-.LP
-To ensure that all checked exceptions are documented, if a \f2@throws\fP 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.
-.LP
-The \f2@throws\fP documentation is copied from an overridden method to a subclass only when the exception is explicitly declared in the overridden method.

-@version\ version\-text
-Adds a "Version" subheading with the specified \f2version\-text\fP 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 version number where this code was introduced). The \f2version\-text\fP has no special internal structure. To see where the version tag can be used, see Where Tags Can Be Used.
-.LP
-A doc comment may contain multiple \f2@version\fP tags. If it makes sense, you can specify one version number per \f2@version\fP tag or multiple version numbers per tag. In the former case, the Javadoc tool inserts a comma (\f2,\fP) 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.

+Specifies the search paths for finding source files when passing package names or the \f3-subpackages\fR option into the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. Separate multiple paths with a colon (:)\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command searches all subdirectories 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 comments are inherited by the source files being documented\&.
+
+You can use the \f3-sourcepath\fR option only when passing package names into the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. This will not locate source files passed into the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. To locate source files, \f3\fRchange to that directory or include the path ahead of each file, as shown at Document One or More Classes\&. If you omit \f3-sourcepath\fR, then the \f3javadoc\fR command uses the class path to find the source files (see \f3-classpath\fR)\&. The default \f3-sourcepath\fR is the value of class path\&. If \f3-classpath\fR is omitted and you pass package names into the \f3javadoc\fR command, then the \f3javadoc\fR command searches in the current directory and subdirectories for the source files\&.
+
+Set \f3sourcepathlist\fR to the root directory of the source tree for the package you are documenting\&.
+
+For example, suppose you want to document a package called \f3com\&.mypackage\fR, whose source files are located at:/home/user/src/com/mypackage/*\&.java\&. Specify the sourcepath to /home/user/src, the directory that contains com\emypackage, and then supply the package name, as follows:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-sourcepath /home/user/src/ com\&.mypackage\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+
+Notice that if you concatenate the value of sourcepath and the package name together and change the dot to a slash (/), then you have the full path to the package:
+
+/home/user/src/com/mypackage
+
+To point to two source paths:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-sourcepath /home/user1/src:/home/user2/src com\&.mypackage\fP
+.fi

+\f3\fR

+-classpath \fIclasspathlist\fR
+.br
+Specifies the paths where the \f3javadoc\fR command searches for referenced classes These are the documented classes plus any classes referenced by those classes\&. Separate multiple paths with a colon (:)\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command searches all subdirectories of the specified paths\&. Follow the instructions in the class path documentation for specifying the \f3classpathlist\fR value\&.
+
+If you omit \f3-sourcepath\fR, then the \f3javadoc\fR command uses \f3-classpath\fR to find the source files and class files (for backward compatibility)\&. If you want to search for source and class files in separate paths, then use both \f3-sourcepath\fR and \f3-classpath\fR\&.
+
+For example, if you want to document \f3com\&.mypackage\fR, whose source files reside in the directory /home/user/src/com/mypackage, and if this package relies on a library in /home/user/libthen you would use the following command:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-sourcepath /home/user/lib \-classpath /home/user/src com\&.mypackage\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+
+Similar to other tools, if you do not specify \f3-classpath\fR, then the \f3javadoc\fR command uses the \f3CLASSPATH\fR environment variable when it is set\&. If both are not set, then the \f3javadoc\fR command searches for classes from the current directory\&.
+
+For an in-depth description of how the \f3javadoc\fR command uses \f3-classpath\fR to find user classes as it relates to extension classes and bootstrap classes, see How Classes Are Found at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/findingclasses\&.html
+
+A class path element that contains a base name of * is considered equivalent to specifying a list of all the files in the directory with the extension \f3\&.jar\fR or \f3\&.JAR\fR\&.
+
+For example, if directory \f3mydir\fR contains \f3a\&.jar\fR and \f3b\&.JA\fRR, then the class path element \f3foo/*\fR is expanded to a \f3A\&.jar:b\&.JAR\fR, except that the order of JAR files is unspecified\&. All JAR files in the specified directory including hidden files are included in the list\&. A class path entry that consists of * expands to a list of all the jar files in the current directory\&. The \f3CLASSPATH\fR environment variable is similarly expanded\&. Any class path wildcard expansion occurs before the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) starts\&. No Java program ever sees unexpanded wild cards except by querying the environment, for example, by calling System\&.getenv(\f3"CLASSPATH"\fR)\&.
+.TP
+-subpackages \fIpackage1:package2:\&.\&.\&.\fR
+.br
+Generates documentation from source files in the specified packages and recursively in their subpackages\&. This option is useful when adding new subpackages to the source code because they are automatically included\&. Each package argument is any top-level subpackage (such as \f3java\fR) or fully qualified package (such as \f3javax\&.swing\fR) that does not need to contain source files\&. Arguments are separated by colons on all operating systems\&. Wild cards are not allowed\&. Use \f3-sourcepath\fR to specify where to find the packages\&.

+-breakiterator

All other locales already use the \f3BreakIterator\fR class, rather than an English language, locale-specific algorithm\&. The first sentence is copied to the package, class, or member summary and to the alphabetic index\&. From JDK 1\&.2 and later, the \f3BreakIterator\fR class is used to determine the end of a sentence for all languages except for English\&. Therefore, the \f3-breakiterator\fR option has no effect except for English from 1\&.2 and later\&. English has its own default algorithm:
+.RS
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+English default sentence-break algorithm\&. Stops at a period followed by a space or an HTML block tag, such as \f3<P>\fR\&.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+Breakiterator sentence-break algorithm\&. Stops at a period, question mark, or exclamation point followed by a space when the next word starts with a capital letter\&. This is meant to handle most abbreviations (such as "The serial no\&. is valid", but will not handle "Mr\&. Smith")\&. The \f3-breakiterator\fR option does not stop at HTML tags or sentences that begin with numbers or symbols\&. The algorithm stops at the last period in \&.\&./filename, even when embedded in an HTML tag\&.

+-locale \fIlanguage_country_variant\fR
+.br
+Specifies the locale that the \f3javadoc\fR command uses when it generates documentation\&. The argument is the name of the locale, as described in \f3j\fR\f3ava\&.util\&.Locale\fR documentation, such as \f3en_US\fR (English, United States) or \f3en_US_WIN\fR (Windows variant)\&.

+\fINote:\fR The \f3-locale\fR option must be placed ahead (to the left) of any options provided by the standard doclet or any other doclet\&. Otherwise, the navigation bars appear in English\&. This is the only command-line option that depends on order\&. See Standard Doclet Options\&.
+
+Specifying a locale causes the \f3javadoc\fR command to choose the resource files of that locale for messages such as strings in the navigation bar, headings for lists and tables, help file contents, comments in the stylesheet\&.css file, and so on\&. It also specifies the sorting order for lists sorted alphabetically, and the sentence separator to determine the end of the first sentence\&. The \f3-locale\fR option does not determine the locale of the documentation comment text specified in the source files of the documented classes\&.
+.TP
+-encoding

+-J\fIflag\fR
+.br
+Passes \f3flag\fR directly to the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that runs the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. For example, if you must ensure that the system sets aside 32 MB of memory in which to process the generated documentation, then you would call the \f3-Xmx\fR option as follows: \f3javadoc -J-Xmx32m -J-Xms32m com\&.mypackage\fR\&. Be aware that \f3-Xms\fR is optional because it only sets the size of initial memory, which is useful when you know the minimum amount of memory required\&.

For example, you can look at the Use page for the \f3String\fR type\&.

-\-overview \ path/filename
-Specifies that javadoc should retrieve the text for the overview documentation from the "source" file specified by \f2path/filename\fP and place it on the Overview page (\f2overview\-summary.html\fP). The \f2path/filename\fP is relative to the current directory.
-.br
-.br
-While you can use any name you want for \f2filename\fP and place it anywhere you want for \f2path\fP, a typical thing to do is to name it \f2overview.html\fP and place it in the source tree at the directory that contains the topmost package directories. In this location, no \f2path\fP is needed when documenting packages, since \f2\-sourcepath\fP will point to this file. For example, if the source tree for the \f2java.lang\fP package is \f2/src/classes/java/lang/\fP, then you could place the overview file at \f2/src/classes/overview.html\fP. See Real World Example.
-.br
-.br
-For information about the file specified by \f2path/filename\fP, see overview comment file.
-.br
-.br

-\-doclet\ class
-Specifies the class file that starts the doclet used in generating the documentation. Use the fully\-qualified name. This doclet defines the content and formats the output. If the \f4\-doclet\fP option is not used, javadoc uses the standard doclet for generating the default HTML format. This class must contain the \f2start(Root)\fP method. The path to this starting class is defined by the \f2\-docletpath\fP option.

-\-docletpath\ classpathlist
-Specifies the path to the doclet starting class file (specified with the \f2\-doclet\fP 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 directory. If \f2classpathlist\fP 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 starting class is already in the search path.

+Creates links to existing Javadoc-generated documentation of externally referenced classes\&. The \fIextdocURL\fR argument is the absolute or relative URL of the directory that contains the external Javadoc-generated documentation you want to link to\&. You can specify multiple \f3-link\fR options in a specified \f3javadoc\fR command run to link to multiple documents\&.
+
+The package-list file must be found in this directory (otherwise, use the \f3-linkoffline\fR option)\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command reads the package names from the package-list file and links to those packages at that URL\&. When the \f3javadoc\fR command runs, the \f3extdocURL\fR value is copied into the \f3<A HREF>\fR links that are created\&. Therefore, \f3extdocURL\fR must be the URL to the directory, and not to a file\&. You can use an absolute link for \fIextdocURL\fR to enable your documents to link to a document on any web site, or you can use a relative link to link only to a relative location\&. If you use a relative link, then the value you pass in should be the relative path from the destination directory (specified with the \f3-d\fR option) to the directory containing the packages being linked to\&.When you specify an absolute link, you usually use an HTTP link\&. However, if you want to link to a file system that has no web server, then you can use a file link\&. Use a file link only when everyone who wants to access the generated documentation shares the same file system\&.In all cases, and on all operating systems, use a slash as the separator, whether the URL is absolute or relative, and \f3h\fR\f3ttp:\fR or \f3f\fR\f3ile:\fR as specified in the URL Memo: Uniform Resource Locators at http://www\&.ietf\&.org/rfc/rfc1738\&.txt

+.PP
+\f3Example 1 Absolute Link to External Documents\fR
+.PP
+Use the following command if you want to link to the \f3java\&.lang\fR, \f3java\&.io\fR and other Java platform packages, shown at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/api/index\&.html

+\f3\fR
+.fi

+The command generates documentation for the package \f3com\&.mypackage\fR with links to the Java SE packages\&. The generated documentation contains links to the \f3Object\fR class, for example, in the class \f3trees\fR\&. Other options, such as the \f3-sourcepath\fR and \f3-d\fR options, are not shown\&.
+.PP
+\f3Example 2 Relative Link to External Documents\fR
+.PP
+In this example, there are two packages with documents that are generated in different runs of the \f3javadoc\fR command, and those documents are separated by a relative path\&. The packages are \f3com\&.apipackage\fR, an API, and c\f3om\&.spipackage\fR, an Service Provide Interface (SPI)\&. You want the documentation to reside in docs/api/com/apipackage and docs/spi/com/spipackage\&. Assuming that the API package documentation is already generated, and that docs is the current directory, you document the SPI package with links to the API documentation by running: \f3javadoc -d \&./spi -link \&.\&./api com\&.spipackage\fR\&.
+.PP
+Notice the \f3-link\fR option is relative to the destination directory (docs/spi)\&.
+.PP
+Notes
+
+The \f3-link\fR option lets you link to classes referenced to by your code, but not documented in the current \f3javadoc\fR command run\&. For these links to go to valid pages, you must know where those HTML pages are located and specify that location with \f3extdocURL\fR\&. This allows third-party documentation to link to java\&.* documentation at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com\&.Omit the \f3-link\fR option when you want the \f3javadoc\fR command to create links only to APIs within the documentation it is generating in the current run\&. Without the \f3-link\fR option, the \f3javadoc\fR command does not create links to documentation for external references because it does not know whether or where that documentation exists\&.The \f3-link\fR option can create links in several places in the generated documentation\&. See Process Source Files\&. Another use is for cross-links between sets of packages: Execute the \f3javadoc\fR command on one set of packages, then run the \f3javadoc\fR command again on another set of packages, creating links both ways between both sets\&.
+.PP
+How to Reference a Class
+
+For a link to an externally referenced class to 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 referenced in either an \f3import\fR statement or in a declaration\&. Here are examples of how the class \f3java\&.io\&.File\fR can be referenced:
+.PP
+\fI\fRIn any kind of import statement\&. By wildcard import, import explicitly by name, or automatically import for \f3java\&.lang\&.*\fR\&.
+.PP
+In Java SE 1\&.3\&.\fIn\fR and 1\&.2\&.\fIn\fR, only an explicit import by name works\&. A wildcard \f3import\fR statement does not work, nor does the automatic \f3import java\&.lang\&.*\fR\&.
+.PP
+\fI\fRIn a declaration: \f3void mymethod(File f) {}\fR
+.PP
+The reference can be in the return type or parameter type of a method, constructor, field, class, or interface, or in an implements, extends, or throws statement\&.
+.PP
+An important corollary is that when you use the \f3-link\fR option, there can be many links that unintentionally do not appear due to this constraint\&. The text would appear without being a link\&. You can detect these by the warnings they emit\&. The simplest way to properly reference a class and add the link would be to import that class\&.
+.PP
+Package List
+
+The \f3-link\fR option requires that a file named package-list, which is generated by the \f3javadoc\fR command, exists at the URL you specify with the \f3-link\fR option\&. The package-list file is a simple text file that lists the names of packages documented at that location\&. In the earlier example, the \f3javadoc\fR command searches for a file named package-list at the specified URL, reads in the package names, and links to those packages at that URL\&.
+.PP
+For example, the package list for the Java SE API is located at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/api/package-list
+.PP
+The package list starts as follows:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3java\&.applet\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3java\&.awt\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3java\&.awt\&.color\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3java\&.awt\&.datatransfer\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3java\&.awt\&.dnd\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3java\&.awt\&.event\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3java\&.awt\&.font\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3and so on \&.\&.\&.\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+When \f3javadoc\fR is run without the \f3-link\fR option and encounters a name that belongs to an externally referenced class, it prints the name with no link\&. However, when the \f3-link\fR option is used, the \f3javadoc\fR command searches the package-list file at the specified \fIextdocURL\fR location for that package name\&. When it finds the package name, it prefixes the name with \fIextdocURL\fR\&.
+.PP
+For there to be no broken links, all of the documentation for the external references must exist at the specified URLs\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command does not check that these pages exist, but only that the package-list exists\&.
+.PP
+Multiple Links
+
+You can supply multiple \f3-link\fR options to link to any number of externally generated documents\&. Javadoc 1\&.2 has a known bug that prevents you from supplying more than one \f3-link\fR options\&. This was fixed in Javadoc 1\&.2\&.2\&. Specify a different link option for each external document to link to \f3javadoc -link extdocURL1 -link extdocURL2 \&.\&.\&. -link extdocURLn com\&.mypackage\fR where \fIextdocURL1\fR, \fIextdocURL2\fR, \&.\f3\&.\&. extdocURLn\fR point respectively to the roots of external documents, each of which contains a file named package-list\&.
+.PP
+Cross Links
+
+Note that bootstrapping might be required when cross-linking two or more documents that were previously generated\&. If package-list does not exist for either document when you run the \f3javadoc\fR command on the first document, then the package-list does not yet exist for the second document\&. Therefore, to create the external links, you must regenerate the first document after you generate the second document\&.
+.PP
+In this case, the purpose of first generating a document is to create its package-list (or you can create it by hand if you are certain of the package names)\&. Then, generate the second document with its external links\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command prints a warning when a needed external package-list file does not exist\&.

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 comments are inherited by the source files being documented.
-.br
-.br
-Note that you can use the \f2\-sourcepath\fP option only when passing package names into the javadoc command \-\- it will not locate \f2.java\fP files passed into the \f2javadoc\fP command. (To locate \f2.java\fP files, cd to that directory or include the path ahead of each file, as shown at Documenting One or More Classes.) If \f2\-sourcepath\fP 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.
-.br
+This option is a variation of the \f3-link\fR option\&. They both create links to Javadoc-generated documentation for externally referenced classes\&. Use the \f3-link\fRo\f3ffline\fR option when linking to a document on the web when the \f3javadoc\fR command cannot access the document through a web connection\&. Use the \f3-linkoffline\fR option when package-list file of the external document is not accessible or does not exist at the \f3extdocURL\fR location, but does exist at a different location that can be specified by \f3packageListLoc\fR (typically local)\&. If \f3extdocURL\fR is accessible only on the World Wide Web, then the \f3-linkoffline\fR option removes the constraint that the \f3javadoc\fR command must have a web connection to generate documentation\&. Another use is as a work-around to update documents: After you have run the \f3javadoc\fR command on a full set of packages, you can run the \f3javadoc\fR command again on a smaller set of changed packages, so that the updated files can be inserted back into the original set\&. Examples follow\&. The \f3-linkoffline\fR option takes two arguments\&.

+Relative Links to External Documents
+
+It is not very common to use \f3-linkoffline\fR with relative paths, for the simple reason that the \f3-link\fR option is usually enough\&. When you use the \f3-linkoffline\fR option, the package-list file is usually local, and when you use relative links, the file you are linking to is also local, so it is usually unnecessary to give a different path for the two arguments to the \f3-linkoffline\fR option When the two arguments are identical, you can use the \f3-link\fR option\&.
+.PP
+Create a package-list File Manually
+
+If a package-list file does not exist yet, but you know what package names your document will link to, then you can manually create your own copy of this file and specify its path with \f3packagelistLoc\fR\&. An example would be the previous case where the package list for \f3com\&.spipackage\fR did not exist when \f3com\&.apipackage\fR was first generated\&. This technique is useful when you need to generate documentation that links to new external documentation whose package names you know, but which is not yet published\&. This is also a way of creating package-list files for packages generated with Javadoc 1\&.0 or 1\&.1, where package-list files were not generated\&. Similarly, two companies can share their unpublished package-list files so they can release their cross-linked documentation simultaneously\&.
+.PP
+Link to Multiple Documents
+
+You can include the \f3-linkoffline\fR option once for each generated document you want to refer to:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-linkoffline extdocURL1 packagelistLoc1 \-linkoffline extdocURL2\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3packagelistLoc2 \&.\&.\&.\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+.PP
+Update Documents
+
+You can also use the \f3-linkoffline\fR option when your project has dozens or hundreds of packages\&. If you have already run the \f3javadoc\fR command on the entire source tree, then you can quickly make small changes to documentation comments and rerun the \f3javadoc\fR command on a portion of the source tree\&. Be aware that the second run works properly only when your changes are to documentation comments and not to declarations\&. If you were to add, remove, or change any declarations from the source code, then broken links could show up in the index, package tree, inherited member lists, Use page, and other places\&.
+.PP
+First, create a new destination directory, such as update, for this new small run\&. In this example, the original destination directory is named html\&. In the simplest example, change directory to the parent of html\&. Set the first argument of the \f3-linkoffline\fR option 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:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d update \-linkoffline \&. html com\&.mypackage\fP

-.br
-.br
-If \f2\-sourcepath\fP is omitted, the Javadoc tool uses \f2\-classpath\fP to find the source files as well as class files (for backward compatibility). Therefore, if you want to search for source and class files in separate paths, use both \f2\-sourcepath\fP and \f2\-classpath\fP.
-.br
-.br
-For example, if you want to document \f2com.mypackage\fP, whose source files reside in the directory \f2/home/user/src/com/mypackage\fP, and if this package relies on a library in \f2/home/user/lib\fP, you would specify:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- % \fP\f3javadoc \-classpath /home/user/lib \-sourcepath /home/user/src com.mypackage\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-As with other tools, if you do not specify \f2\-classpath\fP, 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.

-As a special convenience, a class path element containing a basename of \f2*\fP is considered equivalent to specifying a list of all the files in the directory with the extension \f2.jar\fP or \f2.JAR\fP (a Java program cannot tell the difference between the two invocations).
-.br
-.br
-For example, if directory \f2foo\fP contains \f2a.jar\fP and \f2b.JAR\fP, then the class path element \f2foo/*\fP is expanded to a \f2A.jar:b.JAR\fP, 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 \f2*\fP expands to a list of all the jar files in the current directory. The \f2CLASSPATH\fP environment variable, where defined, will be similarly expanded. Any classpath 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 \f2System.getenv("CLASSPATH")\fP.
-.TP 3
-\-subpackages\ \ package1:package2:...
-Generates documentation from source files in the specified packages and recursively in their subpackages. This option is useful when adding new subpackages to the source code, as they are automatically included. Each \f2package\fP argument is any top\-level subpackage (such as \f2java\fP) or fully qualified package (such as \f2javax.swing\fP) that does not need to contain source files. Arguments are separated by colons (on all operating systmes). Wildcards are not needed or allowed. Use \f2\-sourcepath\fP 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.

- % \fP\f3javadoc \-d docs \-sourcepath /home/user/src \-subpackages java:javax.swing\fP

This means if you have not modified 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 outweighed by the incompatible source change it would require. We regret any extra work and confusion this has caused.

-\-locale\ language_country_variant
-\f3Important\fP \- The \f2\-locale\fP option must be placed \f2ahead\fP (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.

-.br
-.br
-Specifying a locale causes javadoc to choose the resource files of that locale for messages (strings in the navigation bar, headings 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.

-\-Jflag
-Passes \f2flag\fP directly to the runtime system java that runs javadoc. Notice there must be no space between the \f2J\fP and the \f2flag\fP. 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 \f2\-Xmx\fP option of java as follows (\f2\-Xms\fP is optional, as it only sets the size of initial memory, which is useful if you know the minimum amount of memory required):

-\f4extdocURL\fP is the absolute or relative URL of the directory containing 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 \f2\-linkoffline\fP). The Javadoc tool reads the package names from the \f2package\-list\fP file and then links to those packages at that URL. When the Javadoc tool is run, the \f2extdocURL\fP value is copied literally into the \f2<A HREF>\fP links that are created. Therefore, \f2extdocURL\fP must be the URL to the \f2directory\fP, not to a file.
+Specifies the path of an alternate help file path\efilename that the HELP link in the top and bottom navigation bars link to\&. Without this option, the \f3javadoc\fR command creates a help file help-doc\&.html that is hard-coded in the \f3javadoc\fR command\&. This option lets you override the default\&.

-http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/. The following command generates documentation for the package \f2com.mypackage\fP with links to the Java SE Platform packages.

-\f3Example using relative links to the external docs\fP \- 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 \f2com.apipackage\fP, an API, and \f2com.spipackage\fP, an SPI (Service Provide Interface). You want the documentation to reside in \f2docs/api/com/apipackage\fP and \f2docs/spi/com/spipackage\fP. Assuming the API package documentation is already generated, and that \f2docs\fP is the current directory, you would document the SPI package with links to the API documentation by running:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- % \fP\f3javadoc \-d ./spi \-link ../api com.spipackage\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-Notice the \f2\-link\fP argument is relative to the destination directory (\f2docs/spi\fP).
-.br
-.br
-\f3Details\fP \- The \f2\-link\fP option enables you to link to classes referenced to by your code but \f2not\fP 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 \f2extdocURL\fP. This allows, for instance, third party documentation to link to \f2java.*\fP documentation on \f2http://java.sun.com\fP.
-.br
-.br
-Omit the \f2\-link\fP option for javadoc to create links only to API within the documentation it is generating in the current run. (Without the \f2\-link\fP option, the Javadoc tool does not create links to documentation for external references, because it does not know if or where that documentation exists.)
-.br
-.br
-This option can create links in several places in the generated documentation.
-.br
-.br
-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.
-.br
-.br
-\f3How a Class Must be Referenced\fP \- For a link to an external referenced 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 referenced in either an \f2import\fP statement or in a declaration. Here are examples of how the class \f2java.io.File\fP can be referenced:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-In any kind of \f2import\fP statement: by wildcard import, import explicitly by name, or automatically import for \f2java.lang.*\fP. For example, this would suffice:
-.br
-\f2import java.io.*;\fP
-.br
-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 \f2java.lang.*\fP.
-.TP 2
-o
-In a declaration:
-.br
-\f2void foo(File f) {}\fP
-.br
-The reference and be in the return type or parameter type of a method, constructor, field, class or interface, or in an \f2implements\fP, \f2extends\fP or \f2throws\fP statement.
-.RE
-An important corollary is that when you use the \f2\-link\fP 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.
-.br
-.br
-\f3Package List\fP \- The \f2\-link\fP option requires that a file named \f2package\-list\fP, which is generated by the Javadoc tool, exist at the URL you specify with \f2\-link\fP. The \f2package\-list\fP 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 \f2package\-list\fP at the given URL, reads in the package names and then links to those packages at that URL.
-.br
-.br
-For example, the package list for the Java SE 6 API is located at
-.na
-\f2http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/package\-list\fP @
-.fi
-http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/package\-list. and starts as follows:

-\f3
-.fl

-.fl
- java.awt.dnd
-.fl
- java.awt.event
-.fl
- java.awt.font
-.fl
- etc.
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-When javadoc is run without the \f2\-link\fP option, when it encounters a name that belongs to an external referenced class, it prints the name with no link. However, when the \f2\-link\fP option is used, the Javadoc tool searches the \f2package\-list\fP file at the specified \f2extdocURL\fP location for that package name. If it finds the package name, it prefixes the name with \f2extdocURL\fP.
+Specifies the encoding of the generated HTML files\&. The name should be a preferred MIME name as specified in the IANA Registry, Character Sets at http://www\&.iana\&.org/assignments/character-sets
+
+If you omit the \f3-docencoding\fR option but use the \f3-encoding\fR option, then the encoding of the generated HTML files is determined by the \f3-encoding\fR option, for example: \f3javadoc -docencoding"iso-8859-1" mypackage\fR\&. See also the \f3-encoding\fR and \f3-docencoding name\fR options\&.

+-keywords
.br
-.br
-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.
-.br
-.br
-\f3Multiple Links\fP \- You can supply multiple \f2\-link\fP 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 \f2\-link\fP command. This was fixed in 1.2.2.
-.br
-.br
-Specify a different link option for each external document to link to:

-.br
-\ \ \f2% \fP\f4javadoc \-link\fP \f2extdocURL1\fP \f4\-link\fP \f2extdocURL2\fP \f2... \fP\f4\-link\fP \f2extdocURLn\fP \f4com.mypackage\fP

-.br
-where \f2extdocURL1\fP,\ \f2extdocURL2\fP,\ ... \f2extdocURLn\fP point respectively to the roots of external documents, each of which contains a file named \f2package\-list\fP.
-.br
-.br
-\f3Cross\-links\fP \- Note that "bootstrapping" may be required when cross\-linking two or more documents that have not previously been generated. In other words, if \f2package\-list\fP does not exist for either document, when you run the Javadoc tool on the first document, the \f2package\-list\fP will not yet exist for the second document. Therefore, to create the external links, you must re\-generate the first document after generating the second document.
-.br
-.br
-In this case, the purpose of first generating a document is to create its \f2package\-list\fP (or you can create it by hand it if you're certain of the package names). Then generate the second document with its external links. The Javadoc tool prints a warning if a needed external \f2package\-list\fP file does not exist.
-.TP 3
-\-linkoffline\ extdocURL\ packagelistLoc
-This option is a variation of \f2\-link\fP; they both create links to javadoc\-generated documentation for external referenced classes. Use the \f2\-linkoffline\fP 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.
-.br
-.br
-More specifically, use \f2\-linkoffline\fP if the external document's \f2package\-list\fP file is not accessible or does not exist at the \f2extdocURL\fP location but does exist at a different location, which can be specified by \f2packageListLoc\fP (typically local). Thus, if \f2extdocURL\fP is accessible only on the World Wide Web, \f2\-linkoffline\fP removes the constraint that the Javadoc tool have a web connection when generating the documentation.
-.br
-.br
-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.
-.br
-.br
-The \f2\-linkoffline\fP option takes two arguments \-\- the first for the string to be embedded in the \f2<a href>\fP links, the second telling it where to find \f2package\-list\fP:
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-\f4extdocURL\fP is the absolute or relative URL of the directory containing 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 \f2\-d\fP) to the root of the packages being linked to. For more details, see \f2extdocURL\fP in the \f2\-link\fP option.
-.TP 2
-o
-\f4packagelistLoc\fP is the path or URL to the directory containing the \f2package\-list\fP 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 \f2current\fP directory from where javadoc was run. Do not include the \f2package\-list\fP filename.

The following command generates documentation for the package \f2com.mypackage\fP with links to the Java SE Platform packages.

-\f3Example using relative links to the external docs\fP \- It's not very common to use \f2\-linkoffline\fP with relative paths, for the simple reason that \f2\-link\fP usually suffices. When using \f2\-linkoffline\fP, the \f2package\-list\fP 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 \f2\-linkoffline\fP. When the two arguments are identical, you can use \f2\-link\fP. See the \f2\-link\fP relative example.

-\f3Manually Creating a \fP\f4package\-list\fP\f3 File\fP \- If a \f2package\-list\fP 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 specify its path with \f2packagelistLoc\fP. An example would be the previous case where the package list for \f2com.spipackage\fP did not exist when \f2com.apipackage\fP was first generated. This technique is useful when you need to generate documentation that links to new external documentation whose package names you know, but which is not yet published. This is also a way of creating \f2package\-list\fP files for packages generated with Javadoc 1.0 or 1.1, where \f2package\-list\fP files were not generated. Likewise, two companies can share their unpublished \f2package\-list\fP files, enabling them to release their cross\-linked documentation simultaneously.
-.br
-.br
-\f3Linking to Multiple Documents\fP \- You can include \f2\-linkoffline\fP once for each generated document you want to refer to (each option is shown on a separate line for clarity):
-.br
-.br
-\f2% \fP\f4javadoc \-linkoffline\fP \f2extdocURL1\fP \f2packagelistLoc1\fP \f2\\\fP
-.br
-\f2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \fP\f4\-linkoffline\fP \f2extdocURL2\fP \f2packagelistLoc2\fP \f2\\\fP
-.br
-\f2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...\fP
-.br
-.br
-\f3Updating docs\fP \- Another use for \f2\-linkoffline\fP 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 declarations from the source code, then broken links could show up in the index, package tree, inherited member lists, use page, and other places.
-.br
-.br
-First, you create a new destination directory (call it \f2update\fP) for this new small run. Let us say the original destination directory was named \f2html\fP. In the simplest example, cd to the parent of \f2html\fP. Set the first argument of \f2\-linkoffline\fP to the current directory "." and set the second argument to the relative path to \f2html\fP, where it can find \f2package\-list\fP, and pass in only the package names of the packages you want to update:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- % \fP\f3javadoc \-d update \-linkoffline . html com.mypackage\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-When the Javadoc tool is done, copy these generated class pages in \f2update/com/package\fP (not the overview or index), over the original files in \f2html/com/package\fP.
-.TP 3
-\-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 generated classes.
-.br
-.br
-\f3This option exposes \fP\f4all\fP\f3 private implementation details in the included source files, including private classes, private fields, and the bodies of private methods, \fP\f4regardless of the \fP\f4\-public\fP\f3, \fP\f4\-package\fP\f3, \fP\f4\-protected\fP\f3 and \fP\f4\-private\fP\f3 options.\fP Unless you also use the \f2\-private\fP option, not all private classes or interfaces will necessarily be accessible via links.
-.br
-.br
-Each link appears on the name of the identifier in its declaration. For example, the link to the source code of the \f2Button\fP class would be on the word "Button":
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- public class Button
-.fl
- extends Component
-.fl
- implements Accessible
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-and the link to the source code of the \f2getLabel()\fP method in the Button class would be on the word "getLabel":
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- public String getLabel()
-.fl
-\fP
-.fi
-.TP 3
-\-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 different \f2\-group\fP option. The groups appear on the page in the order specified on the command line; packages are alphabetized within a group. For a given \f2\-group\fP option, the packages matching the list of \f2packagepattern\fP expressions appear in a table with the heading \f2groupheading\fP.
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-\f4groupheading\fP can be any text, and can include white space. This text is placed in the table heading for the group.
-.TP 2
-o
-\f4packagepattern\fP can be any package name, or can be the start of any package name followed by an asterisk (\f2*\fP). The asterisk is a wildcard meaning "match any characters". This is the only wildcard allowed. Multiple patterns can be included in a group by separating them with colons (\f2:\fP).
-.RE
-\f3NOTE: If using an asterisk in a pattern or pattern list, the pattern list must be inside quotes, such as \fP\f4"java.lang*:java.util"\fP
-.br
-.br
-If you do not supply any \f2\-group\fP 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".

+Adds HTML keyword <META> tags to the generated file for each class\&. These tags can help search engines that look for <META> tags find the pages\&. Most search engines that search the entire Internet do not look at <META> tags, because pages can misuse them\&. Search engines offered by companies that confine their searches to their own website can benefit by looking at <META> tags\&.

-\-nodeprecated
-Prevents the generation of any deprecated API at all in the documentation. This does what \-nodeprecatedlist does, plus it does not generate any deprecated API throughout the rest of the documentation. This is useful when writing code and you don't want to be distracted by the deprecated code.
-.TP 3
-\-nodeprecatedlist
-Prevents the generation of the file containing the list of deprecated 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 useful 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.
-.TP 3
-\-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.
-.TP 3

-.TP 3
-\-nohelp
-Omits the HELP link in the navigation bars at the top and bottom of each page of output.
-.TP 3
-\-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 \f2\-nonavbar\fP 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.
-.TP 3
-\-helpfile\ path/filename
-Specifies the path of an alternate help file \f2path/filename\fP that the HELP link in the top and bottom navigation bars link to. Without this option, the Javadoc tool automatically creates a help file \f2help\-doc.html\fP that is hard\-coded in the Javadoc tool. This option enables you to override this default. The \f2filename\fP can be any name and is not restricted to \f2help\-doc.html\fP \-\- the Javadoc tool will adjust the links in the navigation bar accordingly. For example:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- % \fP\f3javadoc \-helpfile /home/user/myhelp.html java.awt\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-.TP 3
-\-stylesheetfile\ path/filename
-Specifies the path of an alternate HTML stylesheet file. Without this option, the Javadoc tool automatically creates a stylesheet file \f2stylesheet.css\fP that is hard\-coded in the Javadoc tool. This option enables you to override this default. The \f2filename\fP can be any name and is not restricted to \f2stylesheet.css\fP. For example:
-.nf
-\f3

-.fi
-.TP 3
-\-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 \f2writeExternal\fP methods.

-\-tag\ \ tagname:Xaoptcmf:"taghead"
-Enables the Javadoc tool to interpret a simple, one\-argument custom block tag \f2@\fP\f2tagname\fP in doc comments. So the Javadoc tool can "spell\-check" tag names, it is important to include a \f2\-tag\fP option for every custom tag that is present in the source code, disabling (with \f2X\fP) those that are not being output in the current run.
-.br
-.br
-The colon (\f4:\fP) is always the separator. To use a colon in \f2tagname\fP, see Use of Colon in Tag Name.
-.br
-.br
-The \f2\-tag\fP option outputs the tag's heading \f2taghead\fP in bold, followed 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 \f2@return\fP and \f2@author\fP. Omitting \f2taghead\fP causes \f2tagname\fP to appear as the heading.
-.br
+Enables the \f3javadoc\fR command to interpret a simple, one-argument \f3@tagname\fR custom block tag in documentation comments\&. For the \f3javadoc\fR command to spell-check tag names, it is important to include a \f3-tag\fR option for every custom tag that is present in the source code, disabling (with \f3X\fR) those that are not being output in the current run\&.The colon (:) is always the separator\&. The \f3-tag\fR option outputs the tag heading \fItaghead\fR in bold, followed on the next line by the text from its single argument\&. Similar to any block tag, the argument text can contain inline tags, which are also interpreted\&. The output is similar to standard one-argument tags, such as the \f3@return\fR and \f3@author\fR tags\&. Omitting a value for \fItaghead\fR causes \f3tagname\fR to be the heading\&.
+
+\fIPlacement of tags\fR: The \f3Xaoptcmf\fR arguments determine where in the source code the tag is allowed to be placed, and whether the tag can be disabled (using \f3X\fR)\&. You can supply either \f3a\fR, to allow the tag in all places, or any combination of the other letters:
+
+\f3X\fR (disable tag)
+
+\f3a\fR (all)
+
+\f3o\fR (overview)

+\fIExamples of single tags\fR: An example of a tag option for a tag that can be used anywhere in the source code is: \f3-tag todo:a:"To Do:"\fR\&.
+
+If you want the \f3@todo\fR tag to be used only with constructors, methods, and fields, then you use: \f3-tag todo:cmf:"To Do:"\fR\&.
+
+Notice the last colon (:) is not a parameter separator, but is part of the heading text\&. You would use either tag option for source code that contains the \f3@todo\fR tag, such as: \f3@todo The documentation for this method needs work\fR\&.
+
+\fIColons in tag names\fR: Use a backslash to escape a colon that you want to use in a tag name\&. Use the \f3-tag ejb\e\e:bean:a:"EJB Bean:"\fR option for the following documentation comment:

+.nf
+\f3/**\fP

+\fISpell-checking tag names\fR: Some developers put custom tags in the source code that they do not always want to output\&. In these cases, it is important to list all tags that are in the source code, enabling the ones you want to output and disabling the ones you do not want to output\&. The presence of \f3X\fR disables the tag, while its absence enables the tag\&. This gives the \f3javadoc\fR command enough information to know whether a tag it encounters is unknown, which is probably the results of a typographical error or a misspelling\&. The \f3javadoc\fR command prints a warning in these cases\&. You can add \f3X\fR to the placement values already present, so that when you want to enable the tag, you can simply delete the \f3X\fR\&. For example, if the \f3@todo\fR tag is a tag that you want to suppress on output, then you would use: \f3-tag todo:Xcmf:"To Do:"\fR\&. If you would rather keep it simple, then use this: \f3-tag todo:X\fR\&. The syntax \f3-tag todo:X\fR works even when the \f3@todo\fR tag is defined by a taglet\&.
+
+\fIOrder of tags\fR: The order of the \f3-ta\fR\f3g\fR and \f3-taglet\fR options determines 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 standard tags cannot be altered\&. This is illustrated in the following example\&.If the \f3-tag\fR option is missing, then the position of the \f3-tagle\fR\f3t\fR option 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 the \f3-taglet\fR and \f3-tag\fR options have the name \f3todo\fR value, then the one that appears last on the command line determines the order\&.
+
+\fIExample of a complete set of tags\fR: This example inserts To Do after Parameters and before Throws in the output\&. By using \f3X\fR, it also specifies that the \f3@example\fR tag might be encountered in the source code that should not be output during this run\&. If you use the \f3@argfile\fR tag, then you can put the tags on separate lines in an argument file similar to this (no line continuation characters needed):
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3\-tag param\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\-tag return\fP
+.fi
+.nf

+
+
+When the \f3javadoc\fR command parses the documentation comments, any tag encountered that is neither a standard tag nor passed in with the \f3-tag\fR or \f3-taglet\fR options is considered unknown, and a warning is thrown\&.
+
+The standard tags are initially stored internally in a list in their default order\&. Whenever the \f3-tag\fR options are used, those tags get appended to this list\&. Standard tags are moved from their default position\&. Therefore, if a \f3-tag\fR option is omitted for a standard tag, then it remains in its default position\&.
+
+\fIAvoiding conflicts\fR: If you want to create your own namespace, then you can use a dot-separated naming convention similar to that used for packages: \f3com\&.mycompany\&.todo\fR\&. 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\&. If you create a \f3@todo\fR tag or taglet, then it always has the same behavior you define, even when Oracle later creates a standard tag of the same name\&.
+
+\fIAnnotations vs\&. Javadoc tags\fR: In general, if the markup you want to add is intended to affect or produce documentation, then it should be a Javadoc tag\&. Otherwise, it should be an annotation\&. See Custom Tags and Annotations in How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool at http://www\&.oracle\&.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868\&.html#annotations

-\f3Spell\-checking tag names (Disabling tags)\fP \- 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 \f2X\fP disables the tag, while its absence enables the tag. This gives the Javadoc tool enough information to know if a tag it encounters is unknown, probably the results of a typo or a misspelling. It prints a warning in these cases.
-.br
+Specifies the class file that starts the taglet used in generating the documentation for that tag\&. Use the fully qualified name for the \f3class\fR value\&. This taglet also defines the number of text arguments that the custom tag has\&. The taglet accepts those arguments, processes them, and generates the output\&. For extensive documentation with example taglets, see: Taglet Overview at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/taglet/overview\&.html
+
+Taglets are useful for block or inline tags\&. They can have any number of arguments and implement custom behavior, such as making text bold, formatting bullets, writing out the text to a file, or starting other processes\&. Taglets can only determine where a tag should appear and in what form\&. All other decisions are made by the doclet\&. 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 \f3-tagletpath\fR option to specify the path to the taglet\&. The following example inserts the To Do taglet after Parameters and ahead of Throws in the generated pages\&. Alternately, you can use the \f3-taglet\fR option in place of its \f3-tag\fR option, but that might be difficult to read\&.

-\f3Avoiding Conflicts\fP \- If you want to slice out your own namespace, you can use a dot\-separated naming convention similar to that used for packages: \f2com.mycompany.todo\fP. 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 \f2@todo\fP, it will always have the same behavior you define, even if Oracle later creates a standard tag of the same name.

-\f3Annotations vs. Javadoc Tags\fP \- 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

The \f3-notimestamp\fR option is useful when you want to run the \f3javadoc\fR command on two source bases and get the differences between \f3diff\fR them, because it prevents time stamps from causing a \f3diff\fR (which would otherwise be a \f3diff\fR on every page)\&. The time stamp includes the \f3javadoc\fR command release number, and currently appears similar to this: \f3<!-- Generated by javadoc (build 1\&.5\&.0_01) on Thu Apr 02 14:04:52 IST 2009 -->\fR\&.

+-sourcetab \fItablength\fR
.br
-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.
-.br

-Omits qualifying package name from ahead of class names in output. The argument to \f2\-noqualifier\fP is either "\f2all\fP" (all package qualifiers are omitted) or a colon\-separate list of packages, with wildcards, to be removed as qualifiers.

-.SH "COMMAND LINE ARGUMENT FILES"
-.LP
-To shorten or simplify the javadoc command line, you can specify one or more files that themselves contain arguments to the \f2javadoc\fP command (except \f2\-J\fP options). This enables you to create javadoc commands of any length on any operating system.
-.LP
-An argument file can include javac options and source filenames in any combination. The arguments within a file can be space\-separated or newline\-separated. If a filename contains embedded spaces, put the whole filename in double quotes.
-.LP
-Filenames within an argument file are relative to the current directory, not the location of the argument file. Wildcards (*) are not allowed in these lists (such as for specifying \f2*.java\fP). Use of the '\f2@\fP' character to recursively interpret files is not supported. The \f2\-J\fP options are not supported because they are passed to the launcher, which does not support argument files.
-.LP
-When executing javadoc, pass in the path and name of each argument file with the '\f2@\fP' leading character. When javadoc encounters an argument beginning with the character `\f2@\fP', it expands the contents of that file into the argument list.
-.SS
-Example \- Single Arg File
-.LP
-You could use a single argument file named "\f2argfile\fP" to hold all Javadoc arguments:
-.nf

-.SH "SIMPLE EXAMPLES"
-.LP
-You can run javadoc on entire packages or individual source files. Each package name has a corresponding directory name. In the following examples, the source files are located at \f2/home/src/java/awt/*.java\fP. The destination directory is \f2/home/html\fP.
-.SS
-Documenting One or More Packages
-.LP
-To document a package, the source files (\f2*.java\fP) 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 \f2java.awt.color\fP), each subsequent identifier must correspond to a deeper subdirectory (such as \f2java/awt/color\fP). You may split the source files for a single package among two such directory trees located at different places, as long as \f2\-sourcepath\fP points to them both \-\- for example \f2src1/java/awt/color\fP and \f2src2/java/awt/color\fP.
-.LP
-You can run javadoc either by changing directories (with \f2cd\fP) or by using \f2\-sourcepath\fP option. The examples below illustrate both alternatives.
-.RS 3
-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Case 1 \- Run recursively starting from one or more packages\fP \- 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 \f2java\fP directory excluding packages rooted at \f2java.net\fP and \f2java.lang\fP. Notice this excludes \f2java.lang.ref\fP, a subpackage of \f2java.lang\fP).

-.LP
-To also traverse down other package trees, append their names to the \f2\-subpackages\fP argument, such as \f2java:javax:org.xml.sax\fP.
-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Case 2 \- Run on explicit packages after changing to the "root" source directory\fP \- Change to the parent directory of the fully\-qualified package. Then run javadoc, supplying names of one or more packages you want to document:
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl

-.fl
- % \f3javadoc \-d /home/html java.awt java.awt.event\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-.TP 2

-\f3Case 3 \- Run from any directory on explicit packages in a single directory tree\fP \- In this case, it doesn't matter what the current directory is.

-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- % \fP\f3javadoc \-d /home/html \-sourcepath /home/src java.awt java.awt.event\fP
-.fl
-.fi
-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Case 4 \- Run from any directory on explicit packages in multiple directory trees\fP \- This is the same as case 3, but for packages in separate directory trees. Run javadoc supplying \f2\-sourcepath\fP 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 directory \-\- they just need to be found somewhere along the sourcepath.

-Result: All cases generate HTML\-formatted documentation for the public and protected classes and interfaces in packages \f2java.awt\fP and \f2java.awt.event\fP and save the HTML files in the specified destination directory (\f2/home/html\fP).

-.SS
-Documenting One or More Classes
-.LP
-The second way to run the Javadoc tool is by passing in one or more source files (\f2.java\fP). You can run javadoc either of the following two ways \-\- by changing directories (with \f2cd\fP) or by fully\-specifying the path to the \f2.java\fP files. Relative paths are relative to the current directory. The \f2\-sourcepath\fP option is ignored when passing in source files. You can use command line wildcards, such as asterisk (*), to specify groups of classes.
-.RS 3
-.TP 2

-This example generates HTML\-formatted documentation for the classes \f2Button\fP, \f2Canvas\fP and classes beginning with \f2Graphics\fP. 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.
-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Case 2 \- Changing to the package root directory\fP \- This is useful for documenting individual source files from different subpackages off the same root. Change to the package root directory, and supply the source files with paths from the root.

-.TP 2
-o
-\f3Case 3 \- From any directory\fP \- 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 \f2.java\fP files you want to document.
-.nf
-\f3

-.RE
-.SS
-Documenting Both Packages and Classes
-.LP
-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 \f2\-sourcepath\fP for the path to the packages but not for the path to the individual classes.
-.nf
-\f3
-.fl
- % \fP\f3javadoc \-d /home/html \-sourcepath /home/src java.awt /home/src/java/applet/Applet.java\fP

-.fi
-.LP
-This example generates HTML\-formatted documentation for the package \f2java.awt\fP and class \f2Applet\fP. (The Javadoc tool determines the package name for \f2Applet\fP from the package declaration, if any, in the \f2Applet.java\fP source file.)
-.SH "REAL WORLD EXAMPLE"
-.LP
-The Javadoc tool has many useful options, some of which are more commonly 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.
-.LP
-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 \f2javadoc\fP command to be run from any directory.
-.SS
-Command Line Example

+Specifies the number of spaces each tab uses in the source\&.
+.SH COMMAND-LINE\ ARGUMENT\ FILES
+To shorten or simplify the \f3javadoc\fR command, you can specify one or more files that contain arguments to the \f3javadoc\fR command (except \f3-J\fR options)\&. This enables you to create \f3javadoc\fR commands of any length on any operating system\&.
+.PP
+An argument file can include \f3javac\fR options and source file names in any combination\&. The arguments within a file can be space-separated or newline-separated\&. If a file name contains embedded spaces, then put the whole file name in double quotation marks\&.
+.PP
+File Names within an argument file are relative to the current directory, not the location of the argument file\&. Wild cards (\f3*\fR) are not allowed in these lists (such as for specifying *\&.java)\&. Using the at sign (@) to recursively interpret files is not supported\&. The \f3-J\fR options are not supported because they are passed to the launcher, which does not support argument files\&.
+.PP
+When you run the \f3javadoc\fR command, pass in the path and name of each argument file with the @ leading character\&. When the \f3javadoc\fR command encounters an argument beginning with the at sign (@), it expands the contents of that file into the argument list\&.
+.PP
+\f3Example 1 Single Argument File\fR
+.PP
+You could use a single argument file named \f3argfile\fR to hold all \f3javadoc\fR command arguments: \f3javadoc @argfile\fR\&. The argument file \f3\fRcontains the contents of both files, as shown in the next example\&.
+.PP
+\f3Example 2 Two Argument Files\fR
+.PP
+You can create two argument files: One for the \f3javadoc\fR command options and the other for the package names or source file names\&. Notice the following lists have no line-continuation characters\&.
+.PP
+Create a file named options that contains:

+.sp
+Run the \f3javadoc\fR command as follows:\f3javadoc -bottom @bottom @packages\fR\&.
+.PP
+You can also include the \f3-bottom\fR option at the start of the argument file and run the \f3javadoc\fR command as follows: \f3javadoc @bottom @packages\fR\&.
+.SH RUNNING\ THE\ JAVADOC\ COMMAND
+The release number of the \f3javadoc\fR command can be determined with the \f3javadoc -J-version\fR option\&. The release number of the standard doclet appears in the output stream\&. It can be turned off with the \f3-quiet\fR option\&.
+.PP
+Use the public programmatic interface to call the \f3javadoc\fR command from within programs written in the Java language\&. This interface is in \f3com\&.sun\&.tools\&.javadoc\&.Main\fR (and the \f3javadoc\fR command is reentrant)\&. For more information, see The Standard Doclet at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/standard-doclet\&.html#runningprogrammatically
+.PP
+The following instructions call the standard HTML doclet\&. To call a custom doclet, use the \f3-doclet\fR and \f3-docletpath\fR options\&. See Doclet Overview at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/javadoc/doclet/overview\&.html
+.SS SIMPLE\ EXAMPLES
+You can run the \f3javadoc\fR command on entire packages or individual source files\&. Each package name has a corresponding directory name\&.
+.PP
+In the following examples, the source files are located at /home/src/java/awt/*\&.java\&. The destination directory is /home/html\&.
+.PP
+Document One or More Packages
+
+To document a package, the source files for that package must be located in a directory that has the same name as the package\&.
+.PP
+If a package name has several identifiers (separated by dots, such as \f3java\&.awt\&.color\fR), then each subsequent identifier must correspond to a deeper subdirectory (such as java/awt/color)\&.
+.PP
+You can split the source files for a single package among two such directory trees located at different places, as long as \f3-sourcepath\fR points to them both\&. For example, src1/java/awt/color and src2/java/awt/color\&.
+.PP
+You can run the \f3javadoc\fR command either by changing directories (with the \f3cd\fR command) or by using the \f3-sourcepath\fR option\&. The following examples illustrate both alternatives\&.
+.PP
+\f3Example 1 Recursive Run from One or More Packages\fR
+.PP
+This example uses \f3-sourcepath\fR so the \f3javadoc\fR command can be run from any directory and \f3-subpackages\fR (a new 1\&.4 option) for recursion\&. It traverses the subpackages of the java directory excluding packages rooted at \f3java\&.net\fR and \f3java\&.lang\fR\&. Notice this excludes \f3java\&.lang\&.ref\fR, a subpackage of \f3java\&.lang\fR\&. To also traverse down other package trees, append their names to the \f3-subpackages\fR argument, such as \f3java:javax:org\&.xml\&.sax\fR\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html \-sourcepath /home/src \-subpackages java \-exclude\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+\f3Example 2 Change to Root and Run Explicit Packages\fR
+.PP
+Change to the parent directory of the fully qualified package\&. Then, run the \f3javadoc\fR command with the names of one or more packages that you want to document:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3cd /home/src/\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html java\&.awt java\&.awt\&.event\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+To also traverse down other package trees, append their names to the \f3-subpackages\fR argument, such as j\f3ava:javax:org\&.xml\&.sax\fR\&.
+.PP
+\f3Example 3 Run from Any Directory on Explicit Packages in One Tree\fR
+.PP
+In this case, it does not matter what the current directory is\&. Run the \f3javadoc\fR command and use the \f3-sourcepath\fR option with the parent directory of the top-level package\&. Provide the names of one or more packages that you want to document:
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html \-sourcepath /home/src java\&.awt java\&.awt\&.event\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+\f3Example 4 Run from Any Directory on Explicit Packages in Multiple Trees\fR
+.PP
+Run the \f3javadoc\fR command and use the \f3-sourcepath\fR option with a colon-separated list of the paths to each tree\&'s root\&. Provide the names of one or more packages that you want to document\&. All source files for a specified package do not need to be located under a single root directory, but they must be found somewhere along the source path\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html \-sourcepath /home/src1:/home/src2 java\&.awt java\&.awt\&.event\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+The result is that all cases generate HTML-formatted documentation for the \f3public\fR and \f3protected\fR classes and interfaces in packages j\f3ava\&.awt\fR and \f3java\&.awt\&.even\fRt and save the HTML files in the specified destination directory\&. Because two or more packages are being generated, the document has three HTML frames: one for the list of packages, another for the list of classes, and the third for the main class pages\&.
+.PP
+Document One or More Classes
+
+The second way to run the \f3javadoc\fR command is to pass one or more source files\&. You can run \f3javadoc\fR either of the following two ways: by changing directories (with the \f3cd\fR command) or by fully specifying the path to the source files\&. Relative paths are relative to the current directory\&. The \f3-sourcepath\fR option is ignored when passing source files\&. You can use command-line wild cards, such as an asterisk (*), to specify groups of classes\&.
+.PP
+\f3Example 1 Change to the Source Directory\fR
+.PP
+Change to the directory that holds the source files\&. Then run the \f3javadoc\fR command with the names of one or more source files you want to document\&.
+.PP
+This example generates HTML-formatted documentation for the classes \f3Button\fR, \f3Canvas,\fR and classes that begin with \f3Graphics\fR\&. Because source files rather than package names were passed in as arguments to the \f3javadoc\fR command, the document has two frames: one for the list of classes and the other for the main page\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3cd /home/src/java/awt\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html Button\&.java Canvas\&.java Graphics*\&.java\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+\f3Example 2 Change to the Root Directory of the Package\fR
+.PP
+This is useful for documenting individual source files from different subpackages off of the same root\&. Change to the package root directory, and supply the source files with paths from the root\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3cd /home/src/\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html java/awt/Button\&.java java/applet/Applet\&.java\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+\f3Example 3 Document Files from Any Directory\fR
+.PP
+In this case, it does not matter what the current directory is\&. Run the \f3javadoc\fR command with the absolute path (or path relative to the current directory) to the source files you want to document\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html /home/src/java/awt/Button\&.java\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3/home/src/java/awt/Graphics*\&.java\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+
+.PP
+Document Packages and Classes
+
+You can document entire packages and individual classes at the same time\&. Here is an example that mixes two of the previous examples\&. You can use the \f3-sourcepath\fR option for the path to the packages but not for the path to the individual classes\&.
+.sp
+.nf
+\f3javadoc \-d /home/html \-sourcepath /home/src java\&.awt\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3/home/src/java/applet/Applet\&.java\fP
+.fi
+.nf
+\f3\fR
+.fi
+.sp
+.SS REAL-WORLD\ EXAMPLES
+The following command-line and \f3makefile\fR versions of the \f3javadoc\fR command run on the Java platform APIs\&. It uses 180 MB of memory to generate the documentation for the 1500 (approximately) public and protected classes in the Java SE 1\&.2\&. Both examples use absolute paths in the option arguments, so that the same \f3javadoc\fR command can be run from any directory\&.
+.PP
+Command-Line Example
+
+The following command might be too long for some shells\&. You can use a command-line argument file (or write a shell script) to overcome this limitation\&.
+.PP
+In the example, \f3packages\fR is the name of a file that contains the packages to process, such as \f3java\&.applet\fR\f3java\&.lang\fR\&. None of the options should contain any newline characters between the single quotation marks\&. For example, if you copy and paste this example, then delete the newline characters from the \f3-bottom\fR option\&.

+.SH GENERAL\ TROUBLESHOOTING
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu

+.SH ERRORS\ AND\ WARNINGS
+Error and warning messages contain the file name and line number to the declaration line rather than to the particular line in the documentation comment\&.
+.PP
+For example, this message \f3error: cannot read: Class1\&.java\fR means that the \f3javadoc\fR command is trying to load \f3Class1\&.jav\fR\f3a\fR in the current directory\&. The class name is shown with its path (absolute or relative)\&.
