I wanted to pass the -use
flag to javadoc, but I couldn’t find any documentation on how to set it anywhere.
After some extensive Googling, I discovered an example in a random GitHub project that uses options.use = true
within the javadoc
task.
But this came as a surprise to me, since the Javadoc for StandardJavadocDocletOptions doesn’t mention this at all, and I had read through that documentation first.
However… the public void setUse(boolean use) method obviously exists in the source code for StandardJavadocDocletOptions
.
So, how does it happen that this method is not documented in the published Javadoc for Gradle?
