["Anders Hammar (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Anders Hammar commented on JXR-12:
----------------------------------

If implementing this, please make it flexible. Alternative a) does not provide for the reality of public class that are not part of a public API (impl classes for instance). Alternative b) would be great, but an easier alterantive could be to provide for the possibility of specifying the packages to exclude.

> Suppose:
> 1- I want to generate javadocs only for my project API (only public classes and interfaces). 
> 2- As a convenience for developers willing to collaborate on the project, I would like to generate browsable source for public and package private classes and methods.
> (1) is mainly targeted at people using the project.
> (2) is mainly targeted at people working on the project.
> Currently jxr generates links for javadocs whether they exist or not. So links to packages private class javadocs are broken.
> I would be nice to:
> a- Be able to filter links to javadocs bases on the public / package private properties of the classes.
> even better
> b- generate javadoc links, only to existing javadocs.
