Software Documentation Toolkit

Overview

SDToolkit (Source Documentation Toolkit) provides a framework which allows a developer to add special javadoc style comments into source code. This information is then extracted together with the surrounding source code and analysed to produce API/technical documentation.

Features

  • Written in Java providing platform independence *
  • Main framework can be hosted remotely. Providing a centralised service on a local intranet for example.
  • Source file readers are pluggable and can be interchanged by any object implementing the bjsoftware.docobjects.IDocReader inteface
  • Similary documentation writers are pluggable and can be replaced by any object implementing the bjsoftware.docobjects.IDocWriter inteface
  • Highly customisable
  • Currently pascal/Delphi and VB source file readers are available
  • A default documentation writer is available to produce an XML document

* SDToolkit can be hosted on any platform with an available Java 1.2 compatable JVM.
