Erik Hatcher commented on SOLR-555:
-----------------------------------
Hoss - have you tried XDoclet? I'm not sure where the state of that project
is, but I used to do a lot of work with it. I even used it to generate an Ant
task reference once upon a time. Been a long long time since I've tinkered
with it though, not sure if XDoclet2 is the better starting point or not
either.
XDoclet can make generating stuff from Java code a lot easier than writing your
own doclet.
> Autogenerate "user" docs about "plugins" from code

> Our current strategy of using javadocs for "developer" documentation and the
> wiki for documenting "user" features only gets us so far -- among other
> things, it makes it hard to include the "user" documentation in our releases,
> but it also results in a disconnect between when code changes and when
> documentation gets updated.
> in an ideal world, "user" documentation would live in the code right along
> side the implementation, just like with javadocs -- but the standard set of
> information displayed by javadocs isn't very user friendly. we should find a
> better way to allow us to "edit" the info about how to use a plugin right
> along side the code for that plugin and generate user friendly documentation
> from that.
