Publish JavaDoc on Jenkins with maven

Question

I have maven project that is built by Jenkins-CI. How to generate and publish JavaDoc on Jenkins?

Answer 1

1. Make sure Jenkins javadoc plugin is installed.
   Go to http://yourjenkinsserver.com/jenkins/pluginManager/installed to see list of intalled plugins.
   Plugin page https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Javadoc+Plugin

2. Configure Jenkins job:
   In Build section, Goals and options line add:

   javadoc:javadoc

That's all. No need to change pom.xml

Answer 2

The simplest thing to do is to create a separate task that runs thr javadoc command, and which runs after the compile task. You pass it the input and output directories.

I would run a separate tomcat for your CI website - it's easier.
