Change language of generated JavaDoc in Eclipse


My Eclipse 2024-12 runs on a macOS with the default locale of de_CH, but for a project, I need to generate the JavaDoc in english. The Eclipse export has the following settings:

Eclipse export settings

but the generated Javadoc is still in the language de_CH.

There are no errors shown while generating the HTML files.

What did I wrong?


Solution

  • I have changed the default Java from OpenJDK 21.0.4 to GraalVM 23.0.1 but the parameter still does not take any effect.

    But the workaround with setting the system properties instead of the options works fine:

    Eclipse Export Properties

    Thanks for your help!
