===================================================================== DESCRIPTION: JsDoc Toolkit is an automatic documentation generation tool for JavaScript. It is written in JavaScript and is run from a command line (or terminal) using Mozilla Rhino JavaScript engine. Using this tool you can automatically turn JavaDoc-like comments in your JavaScript source code into published output, such as HTML or XML. For more information, to report a bug or to browse the technical documentation for this tool please visit the official JsDoc Toolkit project homepage: http://code.google.com/p/jsdoc-toolkit/ This project is based on the JSDoc.pm tool, created by Michael Mathews, maintained by Gabriel Reid. More information on JsDoc can be found on the JSDoc.pm homepage: http://jsdoc.sourceforge.net/ Complete documentation on JsDoc Toolkit can be found on the project wiki at http://code.google.com/p/jsdoc-toolkit/w/list ===================================================================== USAGE: Running JsDoc Toolkit on your desktop requires you to have Java installed and the Mozilla Rhino JavaScript jar file (named "js.jar") available. A copy of this jar file is included with the JsDoc Toolkit distribution. To download Rhino yourself or to find out more go to the official Rhino web page: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/ Before running the JsDoc Toolkit app you must change your current working directory to the jsdoc-toolkit folder. Then follow the examples below, or as shown on the project wiki. On a computer running Windows a valid command line to run JsDoc Toolkit might look like this: > java -jar app\js.jar app\run.js -a -t=templates\htm test\data\test.js On Mac OS X or Linux the same command would look like this: $ java -jar app/js.jar app/run.js -a -t=templates/htm test/data/test.js The above assumes your current working directory contains the app, test and templates subdirectories from the standard JsDoc Toolkit distribution. If you have the js.jar file saved to a place in your system's Java CLASSPATH, it can safely be omitted from the command. To run JsDoc Toolkit from any directory, specify the path to the app folder like so: > java -Djsdoc.dir=%BASE_DIR% -jar %RHINO% %RUN% %OPTS% %SRC_FILES% So assuming the JsDoc Toolkit "app" directory is in "lib\jsdoc-toolkit" you would specify that like so: > java -Djsdoc.dir=lib\jsdoc-toolkit The output documentation files will be saved to a new directory named "js_docs_out" (by default) in the current directory, or if you specify a -d=somewhere_else option, to the somewhere_else directory. For help (usage notes) enter this on the command line: > java -jar app\js.jar app\run.js -h To run the unit tests included with JsDoc Toolkit enter this on the command line: > java -jar app\js.jar test\run.js To run any example in the included examples enter this on the command line: $ java -jar app/js.jar examples/run.js -a examples/data/whatever.js ===================================================================== LICENSE: Rhino (JavaScript in Java) is open source and licensed by Mozilla under the MPL 1.1 or later/GPL 2.0 or later licenses, the text of which is available at http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/ You can obtain the source code for Rhino via the Mozilla web site at http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html The Tango base icon theme is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.
