Javadoc taglets and annotation processing tools for processing GeoAPI after compilation. Those tools are used mostly for javadoc generation. They are internal to the GeoAPI project and may change at any time.
The steps for creating a GeoAPI milestone are documentes in a separated page:
This module contains a jdiff directory, which is not used by the normal build process. The jdiff directory allows the generation of HTML pages documenting the API changes between the latest GeoAPI stable release and the current development (trunk). To generate those pages, invoke the jdiff.sh script from any directory. There is no configuration required - it should work out of the box on Unix machine with JDK6, and can be invoked from a continuous integration tool.
The jdiff.sh script must be invoked explicitely - it is not invoked by the Maven build process. It shall be invoked after mvn install site and before mvn site:deploy, like below:
mvn install site trunk/tools/jdiff/jdiff.sh mvn site:deploy
The HTML pages will be deployed on http://www.geoapi.org/changes/snapshot/.
The jdiff.jar file is derived from the JDiff project, with the following slight modifications:
