<font face="serif">Now that I know many of you are making progress
on your Programming Assignment 2, I think it is time we talk about
JavaDoc and how to get Eclipse to generate the JavaDoc for you.
While I anticipate that you are "commenting as you go", the
JavaDoc comments often go in towards the end of the coding process
once you have everything figured out.<br>
<br>
Examples of how to create the javadoc comments are found on pages
89-92 of your text but there is a more complete reference on pages
A-66 and A-67 in the appendix. Go ahead and comment your
constructors and at least one accessor and mutator method so you
can see how JavaDoc will work on your code on Monday.<br>
<br>
By the way, the biggest problem I have with JavaDoc is CONFIGURING
it to work with Eclipse. This is even a problem on the machines
in the computer science building classroom. We'll also take care
of that on Monday for your own eclipse environment.<br>
<br>
Keep the questions coming! Happy coding. <br>
