I have a problem creating javadoc.

My java program (Samplejavadoc.java) is in folder with path C:\Java Programs\AppendixE\ Samplejavadoc.java

The jdk1.5.0_02\bin is in C:\Java Programs.

What I need to put in the Command, Parameters, Initial folder text boxes (I cheked the DOS Command check box) when try to run a javadoc.

I make some tries. Ex:

For Command try whith; javadoc C:\Java Programs\AppendixE\Samplejavadoc.java

For Parameters; -link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api -author -d c:\Java Programs\ArppendixE\

And for Initial folder; C:\Java Programs\jdk1.5.0_02\bin

For what is Command, Parameters, and Initial folder text boxes of the run command in TextPad? or What I need to put in the text boxes in TextPad run command to run the javadoc?

I made the solution creating a Java folder (C:\Java). Then copy the Samplejavadoc.java code from C:\Java Programs\AppendixE\Samplejavadoc.java and paste in the created C:\Java folder.

Then, in TextPad, I clicked a Run command from the Tools Menu. In the text boxes of the Run dialog box I put javadoc C:\Java\Samplejavadoc.java in the Command text box.

Next I put -link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api -author -d C:\Java\ in Parameters text box and C:\Java Programs\jdk1.5.0_02\bin in Initial folder text box. Check the DOS command and click OK.

Other suggestion?

Have you tried

Command: C:\Java Programs\jdk1.5.0_02\bin\javadoc.exe
Parameters: -link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api -author -d "c:\Java AppendixE\" $File
Initial folder: $FileDir

[X] Capture output

?

I correct some errors in my first post.

This is what happened:

'C:\Java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Press any key to continue . . .

Any way, thank you Ben

Put paths in "" if they contains blanks.

(whoever allowed blanks in file and folder names should be shot, hung, quartered, electrocuted, poisoned, stabbed, suffocated and drowned - in any order )

A path containing spaces does not need to be quoted in the Command field. But one in the Parameters field does.

The error message 'C:\Java' is not recognized as an internal or external command indicates otherwise.
IIRC there are differences in Windows versions - Win98 needs the quotes, Win2K/WinXP not (but I don't have Win98 available now to check)

And also, even on win2k, where the quotes are not necessary, they do no harm.

Ah. I didn't realise that the behaviour differed in different versions of Windows. I should have guessed that, I suppose.

Thanks for the information.

I have Windows XP SP2
