  2. In the Generate JavaDoc dialog, specify the following options:
    • Select scope (whole project or a certain project with subpackages).
    • Specify the output directory, where the generated documentation will be placed.
    • Use the slider to define the level of visibility of members to be included in the generated documentation.
  3. Specify the other JavaDoc options. Refer to the topic Generate JavaDoc Dialog for description of controls.
