Is it possible in Eclipse to have the warnings displayed in the editor about Javadoc issues. for example, I often rename / change parameters of methods and forget to update the Javadoc accordingly.
This would be great to notice that before the next Javadoc compilation.
Step 1 − Open eclipse, select the option Project →Generate Javadoc. Step 2 − Select the javadoc.exe file from the bin folder of java installation directory, select the destination folder for the generated java doc and select Next. finish button.
From the main menu, select Tools | Generate JavaDoc. In the dialog that opens, select a scope — a set of files or directories for which you want to generate the reference, and set the output directory where the generated documentation will be placed.
In your Eclipse, go to Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Errors/Warnings: Here you could switch any Warning entry to Error.
Shift-Alt-J is a useful keyboard shortcut in Eclipse for creating Javadoc comment templates.
Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Javadoc
When renaming use the refactor option - ALT + SHIFT + R. It will automatically rename javadoc param names as well.
