Method Detail
getTask
DocumentationTool.DocumentationTask getTask(Writer out, JavaFileManager fileManager, DiagnosticListener<? super JavaFileObject> diagnosticListener, Class<?> docletClass, Iterable<String> options, Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> compilationUnits)
Creates a future for a documentation task with the given components and arguments. The task might not have completed as described in the DocumentationTask interface.If a file manager is provided, it must be able to handle all locations defined in
DocumentationTool.Location
, as well asStandardLocation.SOURCE_PATH
,StandardLocation.CLASS_PATH
, andStandardLocation.PLATFORM_CLASS_PATH
.- Parameters:
-
out
- a Writer for additional output from the tool; useSystem.err
ifnull
-
fileManager
- a file manager; ifnull
use the tool's standard filemanager -
diagnosticListener
- a diagnostic listener; ifnull
use the tool's default method for reporting diagnostics -
docletClass
- a class providing the necessary methods required of a doclet -
options
- documentation tool options and doclet options,null
means no options -
compilationUnits
- the compilation units to compile,null
means no compilation units - Returns:
- an object representing the compilation
- Throws:
-
RuntimeException
- if an unrecoverable error occurred in a user supplied component. The cause will be the error in user code. -

- if any of the given compilation units are of other kind than source
getStandardFileManager
StandardJavaFileManager getStandardFileManager(DiagnosticListener<? super JavaFileObject> diagnosticListener, Locale locale, Charset charset)
Gets a new instance of the standard file manager implementation for this tool. The file manager will use the given diagnostic listener for producing any non-fatal diagnostics. Fatal errors will be signaled with the appropriate exceptions.The standard file manager will be automatically reopened if it is accessed after calls to
flush
orclose
. The standard file manager must be usable with other tools.- Parameters:
-
diagnosticListener
- a diagnostic listener for non-fatal diagnostics; ifnull
use the compiler's default method for reporting diagnostics -
locale
- the locale to apply when formatting diagnostics;null
means the default locale. -
charset
- the character set used for decoding bytes; ifnull
