Tips and Surprises

•  <bottom> tag: If you want to include html markup, embed the text in a cdata section: e.g. <bottom><![CDATA[Copyright 2005, <a xhref=" http://www.mycompany.com">MyCompany, Inc.<a>]]></bottom>
• The @see and @link tags are not handeld correctly (see issue report: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-28)

Examples

Using a different doclet

 This example uses Sun's standard doclet:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
           <doclet>com.sun.tools.doclets.standard.Standard</doclet -->
           <docletPath>C:\Programm Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\lib\tools.jar</docletPath>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
