Let s say you have the following directory structure where you want to generate javadocs on file1 java and file2 java  package com test   with the javadocs being placed in C  javadoc test   C      --javadoc           --test     --projects           --com                 --test                       --file1 java           --file2 java   In the command terminal  navigate to the root of your package  C  projects  If you just want to generate the standard javadocs on all the java files inside the project  run the following command  for multiple packages  separate the package names by spaces    C  projects gt  javadoc -d  path to javadoc destination directory   package name   C  projects gt  javadoc -d C  javadoc test com test   If you want to run javadocs from elsewhere  you ll need to specify the sourcepath  For example  if you were to run javadocs in in C    you would modify the command as such   C   gt  javadoc -d  path to javadoc destination directory  -sourcepath  path to package directory   package name   C   gt  javadoc -d C  javadoc test -sourcepath C  projects com test   If you want to run javadocs on only selected  java files  then add the source filenames separated by spaces  you can use an asterisk     for a wildcard   Make sure to include the path to the files   C   gt  javadoc -d  path to javadoc destination directory   source filenames   C   gt  javadoc -d C  javadoc test C  projects com test file1 java   More information scenarios can be found here

For example if I had an application source code structure that looked like this    C  b2b com steve util  C  b2b com steve app  C  b2b com steve gui    Then I would do   javadoc -d  C  docs  -sourcepath  C  b2b  -subpackages com   And that should create javadocs for source code of the com package  and all subpackages  recursively   found inside the  C  b2b  directory
