I have a set of over 500 jar files for a whole range of plugins that we have from a third party, and for each of these jar files there is a source jar file as well. But they have not provided the javadoc.
I want to be able to build the javadocs from the provided source jar files, but can't tell if javadoc.exe will do this for me. I haven't used it manually for years, so not familiar with the command line options.
One of the guys here showed me how to import the source file into Eclipse so I could browse the Source. but doing that over 500 times is a very time consuming exercise.
Cheers

Because all the source file and plugins jars are together in the same directory I have found a relatively simple solution, using eclipse.
And if that finishes without crashing, then all is winner.
NOTE: My first attempt using 32-bit eclipse and javadoc failed, I think due to the number of plugins/files, but I then used a 64-bit Eclipse and Javadoc, which took about an hour, but did work.
