Does anyone know how to force the javadoc tool to include annotations even if they are not marked as @Documented? Graciously the Seam project marked most (if not all) annotations as @Documented, but in JPA, none of them are marked this way. Thus, it is difficult to share browse mappings w/o looking at the code. -Dan -- Dan Allen Software consultant | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, personal or other work matters can sometimes keep me away from my email.

After a long commute, it hit me that I have the source code to the persistence API and I can make the annotations anything I want. With some small enhancements, I now have my mappings documented in my JavaDoc, so the immediate problem is solved. I was thinking, though, that the @Documented annotation is really pretty arbitrary. Whether or not to document the annotation is very specific to the context in which you are generating the JavaDoc. Frankly, the @Documented annotation should just be a hint and the javadoc tool should have some sort of option for controlling which annotations are included or excluded as an override. I will mention my recommendation to the EG. -Dan On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 9:34 AM, Emmanuel Bernard <emmanuel(a)hibernate.org&gt; wrote: > Provide the feedback to the JPA EG :) > > -- > Emmanuel Bernard > http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Emmanuel | > http://blog.emmanuelbernard.com | > http://twitter.com/emmanuelbernard > Hibernate Search in Action (http://is.gd/Dl1) > > On Sep 24, 2008, at 05:58, Dan Allen wrote: > >> Does anyone know how to force the javadoc tool to include annotations >> even if they are not marked as @Documented?
