usage

The general format is:

% doctorj [ options ] files ...

files may be either Java source files, or directories. In the case of a directory, it is treated as the top of a project; therefore, the directory is processed recursively for all files ending in .java.

default usage

This will use all defaults, checking documentation for errors:

% doctorj /home/me/projects/project

or

% doctorj MyJavaFile.java

emacs integration

DoctorJ is "Emacs-aware", that is, when in Emacs, its output mode switches to one compliant with the format Emacs expects.

examples

The following is an example of the output from the documentation analyzer, the statistics generator, and the syntax analyzer.
