Preface
This guide provides information about using the JavaDoc tool.
Audience
This document provides a general overview of features and pointers to other documentation for users who are reading the API documentation produced by the JavaDoc tool and for JavaDoc tool users who are writing and generating API documentation. Users who are developing JavaDoc content should also see the Documentation Comment Specification for the Standard Doclet for detailed information required to create JavaDoc content.

Diversity and Inclusion
Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.
