Generating your own copy of the JavaDoc

Two ant build targets can be used to make JavaDoc

This build target will build JavaDoc for every component in LAS (the User Interface Server, the Product Server, the Ferret Data Server and all of the backend services distributed with LAS).

ant javadoc-all

This build target will build JavaDoc for only the LAS Product Server and the backend services distrubted with LAS.  It's a much smaller collection of classes and the area where you're most likely to be looking to make modifications.

ant javadoc

Running one or the other of these two ant build targets will create a copy of the JavaDoc in your LAS distribution directory under WebContent/docs.  After you've created the docs you can serve them to the world by reploying your LAS.  The commands:

stopserver.sh
ant deploy
startserver.sh

will make the JavaDocs available from a URL that looks like this: http://server:port/las-app-name/docs.

For example: http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/LASJavaDocs/.
