Java Doclets
You can customize the content and
format of the Javadoc tool's output by using doclets. The Javadoc tool has a
default "built-in" doclet, called the standard doclet, that generates HTML-formatted API
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.
When a custom doclet is not
specified with the -doclet
command line option, the Javadoc tool will use the default standard doclet.
The javadoc tool has several command line options that are available regardless
of which doclet is being used. The standard doclet adds a supplementary set of
command line options. Both sets of options are described below in the Javadoc
Options section.
