Step 5. Set the Documentor (if you have JVISION with Documentor) 1. Make sure the JavaDoc Executable Path
is set to javadoc.exe from jdk 1.2 even if your code is from an older jdk. The Project Path idetifies diagrams to export and the Default Documentation Target Path shows where your HTML export will go.

Step 10. Optional - Viewing the JDK Source Code
If you want to view source code for the JDK 2, you must unzip the 'src.jar' file and then set your
environment to include the path to the source directory 'src' as you did for the runtime file 'rt.jar' in step 4. This is because of a temporary problem that will be fixed in a future release.
Also, add the path for any source files you want in your environment. Note that as you add a class you can click the check box for the root directory of that class to be automatically added to your environment.
Important Note: When using JavaDoc.exe, it has to be the JavaDoc.exe from 1.2.x. JVISION does
not work with a JavaDoc.exe from earlier JDK's. However, your code may be from jdk 1.1.x. |
