How to accomplish inheriting Javadoc comments from JDK with Gradle Javadoc task?

I want my Javadoc to inherit comments from standard JDK classes. For this, I need to add JDK sources to -sourcepath javadoc option. Not to generate documentation for JDK classes themselves, I would specify packages via -packagenames or -subpackages javadoc options, but Javadoc Gradle task doesn't support them.

Solution

  • Well, this appeared to be pretty easy

    javadoc {
    configure((CoreJavadocOptions) getOptions()) {
        addStringOption('sourcepath', project.hasProperty('jdkSrc') ? jdkSrc :
            "$System.env.JAVA_HOME/src")
    }
}
