CLASS DIAGRAMS

Note: Graphviz ‘dot’ binary must be available in PATH, or the images wont be generated.

Download and install Graphviz from http://www.graphviz.org/

<build>
    <plugins>

      <!-- mvn javadoc:javadoc will generate java docs along with UML Diagrams -->
	<plugin>
		<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
		<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
		<version>2.7</version>
		<configuration>
		  <doclet>org.umlgraph.doclet.UmlGraphDoc</doclet>
		  <docletArtifact>
		    <groupId>org.umlgraph</groupId>
		    <artifactId>doclet</artifactId>
		    <version>5.1</version>
		  </docletArtifact>
		  <additionalparam>-views</additionalparam>
		  <useStandardDocletOptions>true</useStandardDocletOptions>
		</configuration>
	</plugin>

    </plugins>
  </build>

Conclusion: Finally it looks like showing images on top of java docs. But those are already available as part of java docs in text format.
I didn’t felt that this is much useful at this time.

Solution:

Use this plugin
http://mojo.os.xebia.com/cpprinter-maven-plugin/usage.html

>mvn cpprinter:print

-o-

maven-javadoc-plugin 2.6 is and other versions are giving problem while trying with Java 1.6

Reason: there is some issues with code. we have option “fix” with plugin, but it is not working. So we dont know exact problem to generate javadoc.

Solution: Try javadoc:javadoc with one profile and try by exluding com.* in another profile
>mvn -P JavaDoc_Profile javadoc:javadoc (Generate before site) (regular maven-javadoc-plugin)
>mvn -P Site_Profile site (regular maven-javadoc-plugin with exclude com.*)

dont use site-deploy
Now to test, i dont have remote site to use site:deploy.
alternative is site:stage
