attach javadoc to class jar

[Stevoie]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how i can attach the javadoc files to a jar file containing the class files. I can generate the javadoc on the source files.

The end result is that when you import the jar file in a ide, you get the javadoc comments when using a class in the jar.

Any ideas,

Thanx

You may specify a directory for the jar's to go:

javadoc -d <destination_dir> ...

and with jar, you may include a whole dir:

jar -uf xy.jar -C ./docs .

or dos:

jar -uf xy.jar -C .\docs .

if your <destination_dir> was 'docs'.

Whether an ide will find them will depend on the ide, where it expects them.
But you may have a look at a 3rd-party jar-file, for which this already works.
