Summary

Provide access to the Reporter and Locale for the StandardDoclet.

Problem

StandardDoclet supports arbitrary plugin "taglets", but does not provide a way for taglets to access the reporter and locale provided to the doclet when it was initialized. The workaround today is to use reflection to access the doclet's internal state!

Solution

Add methods to StandardDoclet to access the locale and reporter.

Specification

The following methods will be added to the jdk.javadoc.doclet.StandardDoclet class:

/**
 * {@return the locale for this doclet}
 *
 * @see #init(Locale, Reporter)
 *
 * @since 17
 */
public Locale getLocale() {
    return htmlDoclet.getConfiguration().getLocale();
}

/**
 * {@return the reporter for this doclet}
 *
 * @see #init(Locale, Reporter)
 *
 * @since 17
 */
public Reporter getReporter() {
    return htmlDoclet.getConfiguration().getReporter();
}
