Java-generate is built on top of Javadoc in order to semi-automate the generation of Processing's documentation for distribution and the web.

Since it uses Javadoc, we need to be able to find the Processing source code. If you clone both Processing and Processing-Web to the same directory, you should be good to go.

In other words, the two repositories should live side-by-side:

• base_dir/processing/
• base_dir/processing-web/

$ cd ReferenceGenerator/ $ ./processingrefBuild.sh

Java-generate is compiled using ant, which is likely already installed on your machine. To build the $ cd ReferenceGenerator/ $ ant compile

For more information on ant, see http://ant.apache.org

When a method is overloaded, but you don't want one of the variants to appear in the reference, add a @nowebref comment to the source above that variant. For example:

/**
  * @nowebref
  */
