无法从 java 10 的控制台运行 javadoc

Question

I'm trying to get javadocs for my classes directly from console with following code javadoc -sourcepath./src/main java.packageName . Those classes have dependencies on external libraries (eg junit.framework ). This code is easy to compile from IntelliJ IDEA or via mvn clean install , but when I'm trying to create javadocs I face the problem that external classes and packages cannot be recognized (eg error: package junit.framework does not exist ). Same problem occurs with JDK 8 as well, but there those are warnings and javadocs are generated anyway.

Answer 1

There are two approaches you could take to get the javadocs to build from the command line:

• Add the maven-javadoc-plugin to your project's POM file so that you can use (for example) mvn javadoc:javadoc to generate the javadocs. See the plugin documentation for more details.

• Run javadoc directly with the correct command-line arguments.

I suspect that there are a couple of reasons why your current attempt is failing:

• You appear to be generating javadocs for your src/test tree. That may be unintentional.

  (If the above "error: ..." is coming from the src/main javadoc generation, I'm puzzled why your src/main source code is referring to the junit.framework package. It could do, but production code wouldn't normally depend on a test framework.)

• You need to use a -classpath option to tell javadoc where to find the external libraries are.

"This code is easy to compile from intellij" just use the JavaDoc function from intellij. It should work
