Doclet API: Generics versus javadoc and the doclet API

XMLWordPrintable

    • tiger
    • generic
    • solaris_7

              Note that because javadoc has an exclusively source level
              perspective, javadoc will be broken if generic support does
              not roll out with generics.

              Impact on Doclet API
                      Two new sub-interfaces of Type will need to be added.
                      Their exactly structure will need to be carefully
                      considered so that existing doclets "fail" as gently
                      as possible. Several other methods will need to be
                      added to MethodDoc, ClassDoc, Type, ...
                      See discussion of class definition vs class use, at
                      the bottom.

              Impact on Doclet API implementation (aka javadoc tool)
                      This requires that:
                      * we complete (or re-implement) the Doclet API
                        implementation on the new compiler.
                      * we extend it with the new API functionality.

              Impact on Standard Doclet
                      This change will have some impact on just about every
                      corner of the Standard Doclet.
