How to generate Javadoc for a module suite ?

2019-09-17 Thread Jerome Lelasseux
Using the IDE I can generate a javadoc project by project (module by module). But how to do it on a module suite?  Any help welcome. I tried adding an Ant target for this (reusing part of the PraxisLive build.xml) to do this but it does not work :  I don't know how to get the -classpath paramet

I have managed to compare the jar files and all my images are in both. However, the later jar file includes all sorts of extraneous files which are in the project but not referenced by any of my java source files. the listing includes separate lines for the directory name too. Judi R On 17/0

The java development kit comes with the 'jar' command (the example of how to do it uses that; on Unix machines the "diff" command lets you view differences between two files). from a command-prompt, you would type "jar tf theNameOfYourWorkingJarFile" to see a listing of all the classes in that jar

Judi, I would compare the contents of your jar files - the one that works vs. the one that now doesn't work. i.e. jar tf workginJarFile.jar > l1; jar tf nonWorkingJarFile.jar > l2; diff l1 l2. This might help you see if, for whatever reason, the images didn't make it into your current jar file.
