Latest version: 4.2.7
Description: Oracle Help for Java (OHJ) is a set of Java components and an API for developing and displaying HTML-based help content in a Java environment. OHJ is designed primarily for displaying help for Java applications, although it can also be implemented as a stand-alone document viewer for use in a Java environment.

JavaHelp

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: SUN Microsystems
Latest version: 2.0_02
Description: JavaHelp software is a platform-independent, extensible help system that enables you to incorporate online help in applets, components, applications, operating systems, and devices. Authors can also use the JavaHelp software to deliver online documentation for the Web and corporate intranet

Written entirely in the Java programming language, the JavaHelp system can run on any platform and browser that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), making it ideal for use in a heterogeneous environment such as the Web and corporate intranet

The JavaHelp system is implemented using Java Foundation Classes (JFC) software components. The JavaHelp system can be displayed in its own window or embedded in an application. It can also be extended to add customized navigational controls.

With the JavaHelp system, help data and search functionality can reside on either the client side or server side. The JavaHelp software network design also enables help data and new functionality to be dynamically updated over the web.

JavadocExpress

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Redskaper.com
Latest version: 1.2
Description: GUI over Sun's Javadoc utility.
JavadocExpress provides access to help for Javadoc's options, the ability to select the source files you want to run the Javadoc utility against (selects recursively if you like), and you can save your selections to a file to be run again at a later date. These saved selection files can also be used as @argfiles to a command-line invocation of the Javadoc utility so there is no lock-in whatsoever.

JavadocExpress does not add Javadoc comments to your source code nor does it alter your source code in any way.

Doxygen

 Home Page Home Page
Categories:
Author: Dimitri van Heesch
Latest version: 1.4.0
Description: Documentation system for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors) and to some extent PHP, C# and D.
Doxygen can help you in three ways:
1. It can generate an on-line documentation browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in $\mbox{\LaTeX}$) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating output in RTF (MS-Word), PostScript, hyperlinked PDF, compressed HTML, and Unix man pages. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources, which makes it easier to keep the documentation consistent with the source code.
2. You can configure Doxygen to extract the code structure from undocumented source files. This is useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions. You can also visualize the relations between the various elements by means of include dependency graphs, inheritance diagrams, and collaboration diagrams, which are all generated automatically.
3. You can even "abuse" doxygen for creating normal documentation (as I did for this manual).
