How to generate javadoc with ant, for an existing project?

ant, build, java, javadoc

Solution

You have a `doc` target defined that generates javadoc in `${doc.dir}` which is set to `doc`.

  <!-- Generate javadocs for current project into ${doc.dir} -->
  <target name="doc" depends="init" description="generate documentation">
    <javadoc sourcepath="${source.dir}" destdir="${doc.dir}"/>
  </target>

So, to generate the javadoc just run:

$ ant doc

And you'll find it in the `doc` sub directory.

Problem

I want to make a Javadoc from an ant build file, but I don't see where it is. In build.xml I have: ``` <description> A sample build file for this project </description> <property name="source.dir" location="src"/> <property name="build.dir" location="bin"/> <property name="doc.dir" location="doc"/> <property name="main.class" value="proj1.Proj1"/> <target name="init" description="setup project directories"> <mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/> <mkdir dir="${doc.dir}"/> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile java sources"> <javac srcdir="${source.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}"/> </target> <target name="run" description="run the project"> <java dir="${build.dir}" classname="${main.class}" fork="yes"> <arg line="${args}"/> </java> </target> <target name="clean" description="tidy up the workspace"> <delete dir="${build.dir}"/> <delete dir="${doc.dir}"/> <delete> <fileset defaultexcludes="no" dir="${source.dir}" includes="**/*~"/> </delete> </target>  <target name="doc" depends="init" description="generate documentation"> <javadoc sourcepath="${source.dir}" destdir="${doc.dir}"/> </target> </project> ``` Where is the Javadoc located? Is it a hidden file or something placed in that directory?
