How to document Java Record parameters?
IntelliJ Bug / Missing Feature Using the in-built JDK tool for javadoc with the version 14-ea and above, I could easily generate Javadoc for a record. The command used for the same is \ /jdk-14.jdk/…/javadoc –release=14 –enable-preview …/src/main/java/…/CityRecord.java So this would certainly be something missing in IntelliJ. (Since the ‘Add Javadoc’ option also doesn’t include … Read more
How do I modify the Javadoc when I modify someone else’s code?
Those comments do not belong in the javadoc 🙂 The javadoc should explain the contract — it is what is extracted and displayed in the auto-generated “documentation”. The rest are just normal comments or, perhaps better yet in this case, SCM log entries and have no place in the javadoc! I would likely just leave … Read more

How to use @value tag in javadoc?
I don’t think Kayaman’s answer is sufficient as the question is how to use the @value tag in javadocs. I think the problem lies in the fact that the value of the field being referenced is not a literal value. In eclipse, when you have /** * {@value #ob2} object2 description */ public static final … Read more
How can I enable javadoc for the Android support library?
I’ve lashed together a project with android-support-v4.jar just in the Android Dependencies part of the package view. I have a class public class CountriesFragment extends ListFragment {…} and an import of import android.support.v4.app.ListFragment; up above I created a file android-support-v4.jar.properties in the libs folder. It contains the lines: doc=c:\\[path-to-android-sdk]\\docs\\reference src=C:\\[path-to-android-sdk]\\extras\\android\\support\\v4\\src Presumably you’ll have to change … Read more

Lombok is actually capable of filling out a partially defined builder class, so you can declare enough of the builder to make Javadoc happy and leave it at that. No need to delombok. The following worked for me in this situation: @Data @Builder public class Foo { private String param; // Add this line and … Read more
