How to generate and view the documentation for a package

• The javadoc tool lets you generate HTML-based documentation like the documentation for the Java API.
• You can use the javadoc tool to generate documentation for one or more packages or for a single class.
• You can view the documentation that's generated by the javadoc command by starting a web browser and pointing to the index.html file that's created in the directory you specify.
