The IDE also provides a Javadoc(TM) tool,
which you can use to generate documentation
from comments in the source code.
A Javadoc comment begins with the characters /**
and ends with the characters */
. A comment consists of a description (which may include HTML tags)
followed by Javadoc tags. You can type a Javadoc comment directly in the source code or create it using the Javadoc Comment dialog box.
Javadoc uses a to determine the content and format of its output. In the IDE, Javadoc uses the standard doclet, which generates the API documentation in HTML format.
