Configuring Custom Javadoc Tags
To configure any custom tags, use {{{../javadoc-mojo.html#tags}\<tags/\>}} parameter as shown below. Each tag will
be consist of a \<name/\>, a \<placement/\> and a \<head/\>. The \<placement/\> should be a combination of the
letters Xaoptcmf:
* X (disable tag)
* a (all)
* o (overview)
* p (packages)
* t (types, that is classes and interfaces)
* c (constructors)
* m (methods)
* f (fields)
[]
For instance, with the following configuration:
+-----+
<project>
...
<reporting> (or <build>)
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<configuration>
...
<tags>
<tag>
<name>todo</name>
<!-- todo tag for all places -->
<placement>a</placement>
<head>To do something:</head>
</tag>
</tags>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
...
</reporting> (or </build>)
...
</project>
+-----+
and with the following todo tag in a class:
+-----+
/**
* Hello world!
*
* @todo complete me!
*/
public class App {}
+-----+
the Javadoc tool will generate the following Javadoc:
+-----+
public class App
extends Object
Hello world!
To do something:
complete me!
+-----+
