I have written Javadoc style comments like this in my project's code:

/**
 * Description...
 *
 * @param ...
 * @return .....
 */

How can I generate Javadoc HTML files using the Eclipse IDE?

Answer

Project > Generate Javadoc....
In the Javadoc command: field, browse to find javadoc.exe (usually at [path_to_jdk_directory]\bin\javadoc.exe).
Check the box next to the project/package/file for which you are creating the Javadoc.
In the Destination: field, browse to find the desired destination (for example, the root directory of the current project).
Click Finish.

You should now be able to find the newly generated Javadoc in the destination folder. Open index.html.
