| API Documentation: | Javadoc |
|---|
Generates HTML API documentation for Java classes.
If you create your own Javadoc tasks remember to specify the 'source' property! Without source the Javadoc task will not create any documentation. Example:
apply plugin: 'java'
task myJavadocs(type: Javadoc) {
source = sourceSets.main.allJava
}An example how to create a task that runs a custom doclet implementation:
apply plugin: 'java' configurations { jaxDoclet } dependencies { //jaxDoclet "some.interesting:Dependency:1.0" } task generateRestApiDocs(type: Javadoc) { source = sourceSets.main.allJava destinationDir = reporting.file("rest-api-docs") options.docletpath = configurations.jaxDoclet.files.asType(List) options.doclet = "com.lunatech.doclets.jax.jaxrs.JAXRSDoclet" options.addStringOption("jaxrscontext", "http://localhost:8080/myapp") }

exclude(excludes) | Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed. |

include(includeSpec) | Adds an include spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs. The given closure is passed a
|
include(includes) | Adds an ANT style include pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If includes are not provided, then all files in this container will be included. If includes are provided, then a file must match at least one of the include patterns to be processed. |
include(includes) | Adds an ANT style include pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If includes are not provided, then all files in this container will be included. If includes are provided, then a file must match at least one of the include patterns to be processed. |
include(includeSpec) | Adds an include spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs. If includes are not provided, then all files in this container will be included. If includes are provided, then a file must match at least one of the include patterns or specs to be included. |
source(sources) | Adds some source to this task. The given source objects will be evaluated as per |
FileCollection classpath
The classpath to use to resolve type references in the source code.
- Default with
javaplugin: project.sourceSets.main.compileClasspath
File destinationDir
The directory to generate the documentation into.
- Default with
javaplugin: ${project.docsDir}/javadoc
String executable
The Javadoc executable to use to generate the Javadoc. When null, the Javadoc executable for
the current JVM is used.
- Default with
javaplugin: null
Specifies whether this task should fail when errors are encountered during Javadoc generation. When true,
this task will fail on Javadoc error. When false, this task will ignore Javadoc errors.
- Default with
javaplugin: true
MinimalJavadocOptions options
The Javadoc generation options.
FileTree source
The source for this task, after the include and exclude patterns have been applied. Ignores source files which do not exist.
JavaToolChain toolChain
Note: This property is incubating and may change in a future version of Gradle.
The tool chain that will be used to generate the Javadoc.
SourceTask exclude(Closure excludeSpec)
Adds an exclude spec. This method may be called multiple times to append new specs.The given closure is passed a
FileTreeElement as its parameter. The closure should return true or false. Example:
copySpec {
from 'source'
into 'destination'
//an example of excluding files from certain configuration:
exclude { it.file in configurations.someConf.files }
}If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.
SourceTask exclude(Iterable<String>
Iterable<String>Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call. If excludes are not provided, then no files will be excluded. If excludes are provided, then files must not match any exclude pattern to be processed.
SourceTask exclude(String...
String...Adds an ANT style exclude pattern. This method may be called multiple times to append new patterns and multiple patterns may be specified in a single call.
