Built by Maven

tycho-document-bundle:javadoc

Full name:

org.eclipse.tycho.extras:tycho-document-bundle-plugin:3.0.4:javadoc

Description:

Create the javadoc based API reference for this bundle.
This mojo creates the javadoc documentation by calling the javadoc application from the command line. In addition it creates a ready to include toc-xml file for the Eclipse Help system.
The sources for creating the javadoc are generated automatically based on the dependency that this project has. As dependency you can specify any other maven project, for example the feature project that references you other bundles. Included features will be added to the list.

The javadoc executable path is determined in this order:

  • executable argument of the javadocOptions configuration element, if available
  • active Maven toolchain
  • java.home system property
  • JAVA_HOME environment setting
  • if none of the above can be used, the javadoc executable is invoked without an explicit path and relies on the operating system PATH variable

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: compile+runtime.
  • The goal is not marked as thread-safe and thus does not support parallel builds.
  • Since version: 0.20.0.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: process-classes.
