How to set javadoc parameters in netbeans

Question

I have just found out that javadoc is yet another program that is broken when it comes to Turkish locale and it won't fix. Luckily, there is a -locale option that I could set from command line. However, I don't want to work with cmd.exe. Is there a way to change parameters passed from netbeans to javadoc?

Answer 1

If you're not using Maven with Netbeans then you're using Netbeans' own Ant build scripts.

In the nbproject folder inside your project you'll find a project.properties file that has a javadoc.encoding entry.

Answer 2

In build-impl.xml , add the locale option:

<javadoc ... locale="en_US" >

Or, in project properties/build/documenting/add additional options:

-locale "en_US"

Answer 3

In NetBeans 9, you can right-click on the project and select Properties then select Documenting. You can add javadoc options (eg -locale) in the box labeled 'Additional Javadoc Options:'. I don't have NetBeans 7 to verify it works the same way in that version.
