Description Helen Beeken CLA 2006-10-25 06:19:42 EDT
This enhancement comes out of aj bug 148906. You can now pass ajc options to ajdoc and it does the right thing regarding them. Within the current ajdoc wizard, on page 2, you can type in something like "-aspectpath c:\myjar.jar" into the javadoc options pane and the correct thing happens. However, this is clearly not ideal as aspectpath isn't a javadoc option.

As a short term solution, it would be good to provide a text box area where users can type in the configuration they require. Ideally though, when using ajdoc within ajdt, users should not have to type in command line style options. Ajdoc should just pick up the project settings and use those. This would require a change in the way AJDT calls AJDoc and needs further thought (possibly as part of aj bug 148190). Solutions may go along the lines of AJDT working out the settings, converting them to something the current ajdoc understands and then calling ajdoc. Or...ajdoc needs to be made more flexible.....

As a note, the next compiler upgrade within AJDT contains the ajdoc fixes required for this enhancement but I wanted to raise this whilst it was fresh in my mind.
