Chapter 6. Configuration

dbdoclet provides a set of command-line options and a properties file. The command-line options overide the settings in the properties file. The command-line options are using the same names as the standard doclet to avoid major changes in existing scripts.

On Unix/Linux you can use the script dbdoclet as shortcut to start javadoc with the correct -doclet and -docletpath options.

Javadoc Options

The following list contains the javadoc options, which have a special behaviour in dbdoclet or a corresponding property name. For all other options consult the Javadoc documentation.

dbdoclet -overview path/filename

Specifies the overview file. The contents of this file is used as the first chapter in the resulting document. Any h1 tag found in the overview file opens a new chapter. The title of the first chapter can be specified with the option -doctitle, the default value is Overview.

dbdoclet -locale language_country_variant

Specifying a locale causes dbdoclet to use localized resources for all generated strings.

dbdoclet -encoding name Property: encoding.source

Specifies the encoding of the source files, such as ISO-8859-1.
