Wait, I'm not quite out the woods yet. I need to see XDocletgui in action. Do I have to build this from source? Are there any binaries available? If I have to build it, how do I build it? Like I said in my last message, I just started with WinCVS and know little of the terminology. I was amazed I was able to connect it to the source repository for the XDoclet project. I'm thinking that I've probably downloaded a broken version/revision. Is the head revision always garunteed to build? Do I have to back date to an earlier revision? I downloaded the xdoclet-all module. Do I have to build the entire project to be able to build the gui? Is there a simple way that I can toy with just the gui? Must I use Maven to build any of this? I know that's a lot of questions all at once, but am I over the line? Can I ask another question? Just one more? Would that be one too many? Do you want to shoot me now? Should I duck?

Konstantin,

I'm looking into XJavadoc and I find little
documentation. How do I use is to augment source? I saw a small use example on
the XDoclet site which retrieves the value of an attribute. I'm
looking for documentation on how I'd use the API to effectively insert Javadoc
tags. Would this be an easy task with XJavadoc? Where can I find good
documentation? I looked into the Javadocs for the API and saw some
Ant classes.It looks like I could extend the XJavadoc class and
implement the start method to use XJavadoc from Ant. It also looks like I could
couple that with the XJavadocFilter to grab only my EJBs from my
source code repository which is really good. I'm sorry to hear about the
deprecation of the template language. Its a little frustrating now that
I just picked it up and would like to use it. That's not going to happen
to XJavadoc anytime soon is it? It's hard to figure out just what
approach to use nowadays since there so many new technologies and such rapid
deprecation of existing technologies.



Best existing documentation is source of xdoclet GUI. It does what you need, but controlled manually.


One you have managerd to load source files, you can
iterate over known source classes and just manipulate
their tags.


After you are done, you can save everything ( look
into action methods of xjavadoc )

XJavadoc is tied together with xdoclet 1.2, and 1.2
wil be the latest version of xdoclet to use it.


2.0 is already in the works, and I put it into (my own
) production today.


It uses qdox ( also source parser, but faster ), new
IoC technologies and velocity / jelly as templates - much easier to manage then xdoclet templating syntax.


There are also nice advantages like xdoclet tag sanity
checking and line-accurate error reporting.


You can use 1.2 though. It's pretty stable, but not
actively developed. 2.0 would be not for you, because
ejb support is suboptimal ( for now ) .


regards,
