javadoc: Generate documentation excluding some packages.

javadoc

$ javadoc -exclude ${package_list} ${path-to-java_source_code}

try on your machine

The command "javadoc -exclude ${package_list} ${path-to-java_source_code}" is used to generate API documentation using JavaDoc tool with specific packages excluded.

Here's what each part of the command means:

javadoc: It is a command-line tool provided by Java Development Kit (JDK) used for generating Java API documentation in HTML format.
-exclude ${package_list}: This option allows you to specify packages that should be excluded from the generated API documentation. ${package_list} is a placeholder for the list of packages to be excluded. It should be replaced with actual package names separated by colons (e.g., "com.example.package1:com.example.package2").
${path-to-java_source_code}: This represents the path to the directory containing the Java source code for which you want to generate API documentation. It should be replaced with the actual path to the directory.

When you run this command, the JavaDoc tool will analyze the specified Java source code and generate HTML documentation files for the public classes, interfaces, methods, variables, etc. It will exclude the packages mentioned in the ${package_list} from the generated documentation.

Note: This command assumes that you have the Java Development Kit (JDK) installed and the javadoc command is available in the command-line or terminal.
