Xjavadoc is a new module we're developing. It will replace Sun's Javadoc
Doclet API. We really don't need all those javadoc
warnings/bugs/overheads/etc, and we need more (Doclet API is read-only,
we need some mutator methods like
getMethod("ejbCreate").addTag("@ejb:create-method") and so on). Try out
xjavadoc module though it's fairly not even an alpha. JavaCC is used for
parsing. Aslak can inform you more.
Now about helping. I think our plans for next releases are:
- replacing doclet api with xjavadoc (of course if it proves to be
reliable)
- for v1.3 (?) a GUI tool for Xdoclet so that you'll be able to set
parameters/tags visually, probably IDE integration later.
- adding unit tests.
- reorganizing samples (smaller separate samples, one for each major
feature).
- reorganizing docs to use stylebook/etc or in other words xml+xsl
(we'll actually need @tags/valid-values/etc defined in an xml file for
the GUI tool, good to also use xml+xsl for generating docs so we have
one source to maintain).
- ...?
These are the core items. As usual we'll continue enhancing
templates/subtasks but in parallel we'll work on xjavadoc/GUI/etc
modules (completely separate cvs modules).
For all the above items help is indeed welcome. Other than the first two
items the other ones are easier to implement and not dependent on other
ones. So we can start from these easier/independent ones and add
xjavadoc/etc when it's done and is in a high quality, in whatever
version it comes to be.
For a basic understanding of how Xdoclet works check out
core/docs/architecture.html from cvs.
XDoclet is becoming bigger and bigger and we really need help from users
community to move it forward :-)
