To generate Javadoc documentation for a Gradle project, you can use the javadoc
task provided by the Java plugin.
Here's an example of how you can configure the javadoc
task in your Gradle build file:
apply plugin: 'java' // Other build configuration task javadocs(type: Javadoc) { source = sourceSets.main.allJava classpath += sourceSets.main.compileClasspath destinationDir = file("$buildDir/javadocs") options.windowTitle = 'My Project Javadoc' options.memberLevel = JavadocMemberLevel.PROTECTED options.addStringOption("Xdoclint:none", "-quiet") }
This configuration will generate Javadoc documentation for all the Java source files in the main
source set, and will include protected members in the documentation. The documentation will be generated in the build/javadocs
directory.
To generate the Javadoc documentation, you can then run the javadocs
task from the command line:
gradle javadocs
You can also specify additional options for the javadoc
task, such as the package names to include or exclude, the doclet to use, and the stylesheet to use for the generated documentation.
For more information about the javadoc
task and the options that it supports, you can refer to the Gradle documentation for the Java plugin.
