## Creating Javadoc from API source files

> This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.

Javadoc is a tool created by Sun Microsystems to generate API documentation in HTML-formatted files. The generated HTML documentation is derived from comments that you enter into your API source files.

JBuilder includes a number of features to support Javadoc generation. A wizard creates a documentation node that holds properties for a Javadoc run. This node is displayed in the project pane. Javadoc can be generated each time you compile your project, using the current properties.

JBuilder also includes these other Javadoc-related features:

- A comment template that fills in parameters based on the class, interface, method, field, or constructor signature
- A template for adding `@todo` tags
- Reporting of Javadoc comment conflicts
- A Doc viewer to view the generated Javadoc
- "On-the-fly" Javadoc generation
- Documentation archiving with the Archive Builder
