javadoc Linking Classes

[Bryan R. Meyer]

Suppose I have source files a.java, b.java, and c.java that I wrote
myself.

c.java has a constructor that takes an instance of class a as a
parameter.

When I run javadoc, there is no link to the documentation page for the
a class in the class c constructor on the c documentation page (where
the a class instance is a parameter).

How do I fix this? I know how to link the regular documentation from
the Sun website, but I can't figure out how to get my own classes to
link together.

Thanks,
Bryan

Run Javadoc on all the classes at the same time, not separately.

I did this. I ran the following command:

javadoc -link http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.4.2/docs/api *.java

but no link to my own classes.

Any ideas?

The classes probably need to be placed in a package. Using the unnamed default
package is appropriate only for very small quick'n dirty programs, not for anything
you'd need an API doc for.
