            <p>A taglet is simply put a handler for a Javadoc tag, such as @author, @since and @param.

<source> <p> The taglet is then responsible for formatting the tag in the HTML output. </p> </section> <section name="How Do I Use It?"> <p> We will go through the options below, but in short: </p> <source> <p> From top to bottom, then, are the options specific for the Commons-Attributes taglet: </p> <subsection name="-J-Dorg.apache.commons.attributes.javadoc.CATaglet.sources"> <p> Due to the way tags are used by Commons-Attributes, the Taglet must know which Java files it will run on. This is caused by the Taglet API, which requires the Taglet to specify exactly which tags it will handle. Since @@MyAttr() and @@MyOtherAttr() are considered two different tags, the taglet must first scan the source files and compile a list of all potential tag names. </p> <p> This parameter is a semi-colon (Win32) or colon (Unix) separated list of files or directories that will be used to create Javadocs. If you specify a directory, then all .java files in that directory and any subdirectories are included. </p> <p> Example: </p> <source> </subsection> <subsection name="-tagletpath"> <p> This is simply the classpath for taglets. Include the commons-attributes-compiler JAR. </p> <p> Example: </p> <source> </subsection> <subsection name="-taglet"> <p> The fully-qualified class name of the taglet. </p> <p> Example: </p> <source> </subsection> </section> <section name="Ant Usage"> <p> Ant usage is similar to command line usage. </p> <source> <p> Note the need to: </p> <ul> <li> <p> Include an additionalparam option to specify location of source files. </p> </li> <li> <p> Specify the path to the attribute compiler jar when specifying the taglet. (Javadoc is a separate JVM and does not share classpaths with Ant.) </p> </li> </ul> <p> After you've run the <a href="ant_demo.html">Ant Demo, you can also type: </p> <source> <p>To generate Javadocs for the demo.
