How to make documentation with NetBeans and Javadoc

Question

I was searching a while, but nothing found. How can i make documentation in NetBeans 7.0.1?

My file looks like:

/** Class Description of MyClass */
public class ScanReader{
}

In my project properties i checked all options with checkbox and nothing in Javadoc options (i tried -d with global path, but nothing happened). When i make build or build and clean i dont see anything about documentation and nothing new in project file either.

Answer 1

Update: for those using NetBeans 8.0, besides the options already stated, you can create Javadoc for a file or package.

• Right click over file/package
• Tools > Analyze Javadoc
• "Analyzer" window should appear, noting which Javadoc is missing, with the corresponding "Create missing Javadoc for [method]"
• Check the ones you want, click on "Fix Selected".

Done :)

Answer 2

This is another way that you can generate your Javadoc through Netbeans.

1.- Click on 'Run' menu

2.- Then go down to 'Generate Javadoc (...)'

Answer 3

Right click your project in Project window and click 'Generate Javadoc'
