JavaDoc for Multi-module Project
Answered
It seems that IntelliJ doesn't yet support multi-module javadoc generation. In the meantime, I looked at a few alternatives and ran into "Dokka". It looks cool, but I can't seem to get the maven plugin to work and so I was thinking of just using the CLI version and writing some scripts, but I can't seem to get that to work either because I can't find any example anywhere of what the JSON config file or the command line should look like :(
What's the best approach to generating javadoc for a hierarchical multi-module Java 11 project? And does anyone have any idea when will IntelliJ support multimodule javadoc?
Thanks,
Jon

There is no feature to generate multi-module javadoc in IntelliJ IDEA.
Dokka is documentation engine for Kotlin, not for Java. In the case of Java and Maven, I can suggest you use maven-javadoc-plugin. It can aggregate documentation of several modules.
Okay, thanks Konstantin.
