Template:Javadoc

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A template to link to the JDK documentation. A more up-to-date version of {{Javadoc:SE}} and {{Javadoc:EE}}.

Usage

An empty usage just links to the javadocs: {{Javadoc}} → Java SE 24 Javadocs

Linking to a module: {{Javadoc|module=java.base}} → java.base

Linking to a package in that module: {{Javadoc|module=java.base|package=java.lang}} → java.lang

For java.lang.Object, write {{Javadoc|module=java.base|package=java.lang|class=Object}} → java.lang.Object

To link to a particular class member, write {{Javadoc|module=java.base|package=java.lang|class=Object|member=clone()}} → java.lang.Object#clone()

Overriding the text: {{Javadoc|module=java.base|package=java.lang|class=Object|member=clone()|text=clone()}} → clone()

A monospaced font can be used by writing {{Javadoc|module=java.base|package=java.lang|class=Object|monotype=y}} → java.lang.Object

Linking to a particular version can be done, too: {{Javadoc|version=11}} → Java SE 11 Javadocs

module: A module (e.g. 'java.base').
package: A package path (e.g. 'java.lang'). Different from module. Requires all the parameters above.
