How do I run a doclet in eclipse

Question

Referring to the examples given in the post : http://www.javaworld.com/jw-08-2000/jw-0818-javadoc.html#resources

Examples in the post : SimpleDoclet and SimpleOrder

I need to know where do I need to place my SimpleDoclet and SimpleOrder and how do I run this doclet to generate output?

I tried using Generate JavaDoc with the following data :

there are two packages : newPack which contains my classes for which javadoc should be generated and oldPack in which SimpleDoclet is Present

Could you please let me know a solution for this?

Answer 1

I had the same problem; this is my solution:

1. I create SimpleDoclet in the package codegen.samples
2. I have exported SimpleDoclet as jarname.jar in C:\\xx
3. In Eclipse, set Doclet Name: codegen.samples.SimpleDoclet and Doclet class path: c:\\xx\\jarname.jar
4. Ask for private visibility (to get all atts and methods)
