This is a very useful overview and introduction! It looks very good to me, except I think the information in "Other Doclets" should be merged with or added to the "Doclet Interface" section as described below. src/jdk.javadoc/share/classes/jdk/javadoc/internal/package-info.java line 121: > 119: * Which is best for any application will depend of the > circumstances, but > 120: * if a tool does not need access to the documentation comments > in a program, > 121: * it is possible that one of the other invocation mechanisms > will be more convenient. Should the "Other Doclets" part above be added to the "Doclet Interface" section below? I think they deal with very related topics. The text above goes into some detail about when and how to implement doclets, which is the topic of the text below. Also, the list above mostly describes the actual components of the javadoc module, but "Other Doclets" is not really part of that. ------------- Marked as reviewed by hannesw (Reviewer).
