A doclet to output javadoc as XML

This library provides a doclet to output the javadoc comments from Java source code to a XML document.

The name, some ideas and most unit tests were shamelessly stolen from the xml-doclet library by Seth Call.

Usage

If you are using maven you can use this library by adding the following report to your pom.xml:

<project>
	...
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
				<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>xml-doclet</id>
					<phase>prepare-package</phase>
						<goals>
							<goal>javadoc</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<doclet>com.github.markusbernhardt.xmldoclet.XmlDoclet</doclet>
							<additionalparam>-d ${project.build.directory} -filename ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}-javadoc.xml</additionalparam>
							<useStandardDocletOptions>false</useStandardDocletOptions>
							<docletArtifact>
								<groupId>com.github.markusbernhardt</groupId>
								<artifactId>xml-doclet</artifactId>
								<version>1.0.5</version>
							</docletArtifact>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>
	...
</project>

Use 'mvn package' with maven. If you are not using maven, you can use the jar-with-dependencies, which contains all required libraries.

javadoc -doclet com.github.markusbernhardt.xmldoclet.XmlDoclet \
-docletpath xml-doclet-1.0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar \
[Javadoc- and XmlDoclet-Options]

A Makefile target to generate xml from both the production and test code:

javadoc:
mkdir -p target/production target/test
CLASSPATH=$$(echo $$(find ~/.m2/repository/ -name '*.jar'|grep -v jdk14 )|sed 's/ /:/g')\
 javadoc -doclet com.github.markusbernhardt.xmldoclet.XmlDoclet -sourcepath src/main/java -d target/production org.rulez.demokracia.PDEngine
CLASSPATH=$$(echo $$(find ~/.m2/repository/ -name '*.jar'|grep -v jdk14 )|sed 's/ /:/g')\
 javadoc -doclet com.github.markusbernhardt.xmldoclet.XmlDoclet -sourcepath src/test/java -d target/test org.rulez.demokracia.PDEngine

If you want more control and feel adventurous you could you use this jar and provide all required libraries from this list on your own.
