Before creating the Java project, the first thing is to check to JDK installed or not in your machine.

How to check Java version in your machine?

Window

  • Go to search
  • Type cmd and enter or search for Command prompt
  • You will see a black screen for the command prompt as below.
  • Type java -version to get detail about it.

Linux

  • On the current screen type command as java -version to get detail about it.
Java Version Check.jpg

The above screen is for the case when java is installed on your screen. If JDK/JRE is not installed on your machine then you will get a message like “Java is not recognized as an internal-external command.”

How to setup Java from Initial?

If JDK/JRE is not set up in your machine then follow below steps:

Download JDK from this site: Download JDK Latest Version

Windows

  • After downloading click on the .exe file to install
  • Follow all steps as the next button and continue as long as a process not complete.
  • Default download location for Java will be  “C:\Program Files\Java\jdkVerXYZ”
Java JDK Directory

To access Java from command prompts or IDE need to configure environment variables as JAVA_HOME and Path. The value of JAVA_HOME would be home directory path where JDK installed and Path would be (JAVA_HOME/bin)

Follow these steps to configure the environment variables

  • Go to Computer ->right click-> Properties -> Advance System Settings->System Variable
  • or Go to search type ENV and click on enter.
  • Enter that value of JAVA_HOME as below
Java_Home
Set JAVA_HOME
  • Set the Path by appending at last as below %JAVA_HOME%/bin;
Java Path Settings
  • Follow the above steps to check Java versions.

Linux 

  • Download JDK and untar it.
  • Go to your home directory/ sudo directory and set JAVA_HOME and Path in .bashrc file as below:

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/app/<installation directory>/jdk1.8.0_66

          export Path=%JAVA_HOME%/bin:$Path

  •   Save .bashrc file
  •  Now run java -version  to check configuration is successful.

Configure Eclipse IDE

Download Eclipse: Download Eclipse Latest Version

  • Click on the installable of Eclipse IDE.
  • Continue the installation by next click.
  • Select the path of JDK as installed.
  • Select the workspace location for your projects.

Now you are ready to create new projects in Eclipse IDE.

Java: How to generate Java doc by command line and Eclipse IDE?

Leave a comment

In the previous post, you learn about the type of comments supported by Java. Now in this post will explain the ways to generate Java documentation of project by both ways:

  1. Java Doc by Eclipse
  2. Java Doc from Commandline

Now we will continue with the same previous comments file example to generate java documents by both ways:

Java Comments Type

Java Doc generation from Eclipse

Follow the below steps to generate Java API documentation:

  • Go to Project tab
  • Select the option “Generate Javadoc”
  • Follow steps in the screen as below:
  • Click on Next button
  • Click on Next button again
  • Finally, click on Finish button
java Doc generation in eclipse 1.jpg

In your console logs will see a link like as below to java doc of file.

D:\Saurabh Gupta\Workspace-learning\JavaExamples\doc\com\common\statements\CalculatorTest.html

Open this file you will see java doc comments on class and method level of this file as highlighted:

Java doc generation eclipse 2

Java Doc generation from Command-line

To generate Java doc from command-line you can use the below command.  It will generate Java doc file in your user directory (default) on below location:

C:/Users/username/CalculatorTest.html


javadoc you_java_file_path

You can use javadoc command as below.

Java doc generation from commnad line

Here are some of the scenarios to generate java doc:

Java doc on a specific location from the package

You can use below command to generate Javadoc for all files with the package from the projects folder:

Syntax:


C:\myprojects> javadoc -d [path to javadoc destination directory] [package name]

Example:


C:\myprojects> javadoc -d C:\javadoc\test com.fiot.test

Java doc generation execution from some other location

You can use the below command when you need to generate java docs and want to run the script from a different location.

Syntax:


C:\> javadoc -d [path to javadoc destination directory] -sourcepath [path to package directory] [package name]

Example:


C:\> javadoc -d C:\javadoc\test -sourcepath C:\myprojects com.fiot.test

Java doc generation for selected files

You can use the below command when you need to generate Javadoc for specific files then you can mentioned files path separated by spaces (or use an asterisk(*) for a wild card).

Syntax:


C:\> javadoc -d [path to javadoc destination directory] [source filenames]

Example:


C:\> javadoc -d C:\javadoc\test C:\projects\com\test\file1.java

If you need to generate Javadoc from the same folder use wildcard(*) and mentioned in the given example.

Example:


E:\MyJavaFileFolder> javadoc *.java
