NAME

       dh_javadoc - generate javadoc documentation and install in package
       directory

SYNOPSIS

       dh_javadoc [debhelper options] [-p<package>] [--sourcedir source path]
       [Java packages]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_javadoc is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
       HTML Java documentation and installing it in package directories. This
       should be done in the documentaion package of all Java libraries.
       Normal Java programs should not be supplied with javadoc documentation
       (neither in their main package or in a separate documentation package)

       Any package specified as parameters will be installed into the first
       package dh_javadoc is told to act on. Use of the standard debhelper -p
       option is highly recommended.

       A file named debian/package.javadoc may list additional packages to
       have documentation generated. These should be separated by new lines.

       When the Java policy is modified, this script will also install links
       to the documentation in a common place so that javadoc pages may be
       interlinked; and also provide a substitution variable for documentation
       package dependencies.

       Javadoc generation is done using gjdoc, currently the only free javadoc
       implementation. When new features are added to this (such as overview
       files), this script will be modified accordingly.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedir source path
           Specify the source path in which to look for Java source files.

       Java packages
           Names of Java packages to be documented.

TODO

       +   Check parameters more carefully.

       +   Add substvar for documentation dependencies

       +   Don’t put the ’common’ directory in all packages - refer to one in
           /usr/share/gjdoc & insist on creating that dependency

       +   Other items depend on gjdoc improvements:

           -       Add package listings to common directory

           -       Generate dependency substvar based on additional doc
                   packages used.
