Generate Javadoc HTML using maven?

Right now I am using the maven-javadoc-plugin to attach the Javadoc to .jar artifacts when I am doing a release.

However, how can I generate the Javadoc in an html format so we can scp it to a remote server for reference?

Thanks!

Using the same plugin, you can generate javadoc in a folder using

mvn javadoc:javadoc 

It puts the help content under target/site/apidocs

You can change the output folder by using the plugin configuration parameter reportOutputDirectory

Please refer to:

if you are interested in just doing it raw, you could use the following command.

javadoc -d C:/javadoc/test com.mypackage
