Poor documentation on JavaDoc

843810May 4 2002 — edited May 16 2002
I've been messing with JavaDoc for hours, and I'm not getting far with it. When I look at the J2SDK API, there is lots documented in the JavaDoc. However, when I make my javadoc comments and generate my javadocs, there are things missing. Some stuff works, but not others. For example, I can comment a method, and that shows up in the javadoc. However, I cannot comment the class and get that to show up, like the version info, copyright statement, etc.

I know you just have to have the right tags, and in the right order I guess, but the JavaDoc Tool Homepage stinks. If anyone can give me an example of a java source file that uses ALL of the important JavaDoc tags, the duke dollars are yours.

The JavaDoc tool homepage shows some stuff, and explains, but there are no examples, please help.
