Javadoc private methods

I've developed my own Doclet to generate csv from Java classes. I need to launch this Doclet about many projects and I can't edit POM files. So I'm running using terminal:

mvn -DuseStandardDocletOptions=false
-Ddoclet=com.sadiel.gescontrata.lector.leeclases.LectorDoclet
-DdocletPath=C:\LeeClases.jar javadoc:javadoc

I need to generate documentation for Private methods, so I have try to add -Dprivate but this not works.

Somebody have any idea about what can I do?

Thanks, Iván.

Solution

  • The private is a Javadoc option. Maven just doesn't expose a property under the same name.

    Try specifying the show user property. Like:

    mvn ... -Dshow=private

    See here for the documentation of this property: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html#show
