This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
See Java projects UI spec, section Javadoc. The UI should be able to plug in *different* doclets, standard doclet's UI will be included in NetBeans (other modules may provide other doclets).
I'm now responsible for JavaDoc module.
Non-standard doclet can be supported in several levels: - none (i.e. wait for generic commandlile tools support :-) - special purpose command line tool UI i.e. take doclet classpath, class name and command line args then execute it - integrated - expose API that can be implemented by providers - write guidelines how to implement them to fit with standard javadoc support UI
I expect that most tricky UI will be to cover -link and -linkoffline options.
As described in http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=619519&listName=nbdiscuss the current work on projects prototype has been stopped.
