# Maven Javadoc Plug-in

Generates documentation for the Java code in the project using the standard Javadoc tool. The default settings will suit many projects, and simply entering `maven javadoc` will create the standard documentation.

The Javadoc plug-in provides a number of goals. The main goal generates the Javadoc, while a number of subsidiary goals distribute the results as a jar file.

The standard settings for the plug-in are suitable for many uses. A full range of properties is also provided for further customisation.
