Description / Features
This plugin generates the documentation of the application using Doxygen and Graphviz. To generate graphs, Graphviz must be installed.
This generated documentation can be browse through the Documentation item on the left menu or from the Documentation tab at file level.
- The Documentation item is available at project level (project, module and package). Different pages of documentation are displayed according to the level of the current dashboard:
- At project or module level: the main page of the documentation is displayed.
- At package level: the main page of the package documentation is displayed.
- From there, it is then possible to navigate through the whole documentation.
- The Documentation tab displays the documentation associated to the current class.
- From there, it is then possible to navigate through the whole documentation.
As the documentation is generated in HTML, it is necessary to make it accessible from an URL.
Sonar server can be used but it is not recommended as it may affect Sonar performances. To configure it that way, set Web Server Deployment URL to http://localhost:9000 (may be different according to your configuration) and Documentation Path Generation to <sonar.install.dir>/war/sonar-server.
As said before, it is recommended to deploy documentation on another web server. Apache could be used. In this way, set Server Deployment URL to http://localhost:80 (may be different according to your configuration) and Documentation Path Generation to <apache.install.dir>/www.
