In Gradle you can use the following in the build.gradle file:
javadoc {
options {
memberLevel = JavadocMemberLevel.PRIVATE
}
}

I wish to be able to use the -private switch in NetBeans. How it could also be
done with Ant, Gradle, and Maven will also be useful to know though I think
each will allow me to run an external process, such as javadoc.exe, as
described in each build system's configuration file.
When I was teaching, I required my students to use JavaDocs comments for every
method regardless of the access control. I'd return work to students who failed
to comment for resubmission with comments. I must admit to not knowing that
there was a way to include these methods in the output from JavaDocs.
I just ran a quick test with Public, Private, Protected, and Package-Private
methods and fields. With the -private switch they all appear in the JavaDocs
otherwise only the public and protected elements appear in the JavaDocs.
I'd really like for NetBeans to let me use this switch.

Hi,
First, if my questions should be asked in another mailing list then please let
me know.
Second, today’s question is whether the JavaDocs switch ‘-private’, used to
have JavaDocs include private methods and fields in the HTML files it produces
at the command line, can be configured in NetBeans 28? I cannot seem to find
anyplace to add this switch.
Thanks,
Ken
