There can be multiple JavaDoc Executors, each customized for different granularity, input or output formats. The basic UI permits to work with exactly one instance, but it's not clear which one it is.
Reassigning to the specification owner.
two possiblities: add a combo to the top of the Javadoc panel for selecting the exector. then setting the default executor should live with the defaults for c/d/e in Java Language. or: make the Javadoc panel where to select the exector and doclet and modify the tree like so (this would address the doclet problem in 23035 too) . . . Javadoc +Javadoc Executors +e1 +e2 +e3 +... +Doclets +d1 +defs +generation +groups/links +text +d2 ... this makes the tree a little deeper here but does solve the problem...
javadoc executors differ from javad executors by a few miles, IMHO. The only thing they have in common is that they execute an external process and pass FileSystems in some commandline parameter. While java executor is a recipe - or scheme - to execute user programs, javadoc executor is a scheme how to process source code to generate documentation (depth, granularity, ...). BTW maybe we should change the name "javadoc executor" to something more user-friendly.
okay... i'll ask around to see if there about a better name.
As the option system won't make it to 3.4, moving the reports to the nearest later version/milestone
fixed this in the current revision of the doc.
Would you point me to the doc to be able to verify the fix.
same as before though it has been pulled from the spec to be handled by projects. http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/hi/options/index.html
Verified. The feature is going to be removed from Tools | Options so it does not appear in T|O UI spec.
