Using the Javadoc API without calling javadoc
Hi,
I am developing an application that needs to show to the user the methods and arguments of a Class. I saw that the Javadoc API has a set of methods that does that. However, I don't want to show to the user the HTML result; I want to use the Javadoc API to get the methods, so I will format then and show in my interface.
The only ways to execute the javadoc are by command line, or by using the Main class inside the code. Is there a way to develop an application that can use the Javadoc API without needing to call the javadoc?
For example, a small part of my code skeleton would be like that:
public class CodeAnalisys {
public String getMethods(String className) {
//use the Javadoc API to get all methods and parameters
//format the results
//return the formated results
}
}
Thanks
