Java: How can I create good looking class docs with Javadoc?


I'd like to create HTML documentation for a Java class library that includes

I think that Javadoc exposes a doclet API that allows other parties to provide doc generation integrated in Javadoc. Is there a doclet option that I can use (for free) that does something a little nicer than the standard javadoc output?

I tried googling for this but no luck. Suggestions?

Addendum
I found doclet.com but I don't know how to evaluate the options. Recommendations?

In particular, XHtmlDoclet sounds like it wants to address these issues. Anyone used it? I can't get it to work. Also the example offered by the XHTML Doclet guys doesn't look any better than the docs generated from c.1998 javadoc .

Solution

  • This question got me thinking (ok, Googling) and I stumbled on this set of taglets. Never tried it, but it looks pretty promising.
