Subclassing the standard doclet class

I'm new to Java.

How can I subclass the standard doclet class? The javadoc HTML-documentation (jdk\docs\toolsdocs) does not say anything about this class, only about the base doclet class.

So if I subclass the standard doclet and other Javadoc-classes, how can I tell Javadoc to use my classes? Are there any factory-methods to hook the creation of Writer-Classes, e.g.?

The documentation for the standard doclet is at:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/javadoc/standard-doclet.html

You're pretty much on your own when subclassing it.

There are no factory methods yet -- subclassing is not particularly

easy now. See the "Doclet Toolkit" spec under "What's New" on this

page for what we hope to do in Tiger (the next major release):

java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc
