PUTTING IN PACKAGE DOCUMENTATION IN JAVADOC Sun Javadoc often contains descriptions on the package pages that provide a rough overview of the intent. However, most third-party javadocs fail to include this documentation. The solution is to put a file named package.html in the package directory. Javadoc will pick this up and bind it into the page. The package.html page needs to be a full .html page. It needs to have tags, tags, and more. Here's an example: [htmlcode]

The com.generationjava.lang package provides wrapper classes which enhance the functionality of java.lang classes. It also provides a collection of useful classes which can be deemed as standard, such as a NestedException, a ByteArray and a Constant class.

Complain to the author [/htmlcode] When the javadoc command is run, the above .html will fit into the generated package page. This will improve your javadoc and provide a good way to summarize a package. HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM TECHREPUBLIC Due to the holidays, look for your next Java TechMail on Dec. 27, 2001.
