Is there a way to embed images into my JavaDoc? Basically i want to include some UML diagrams explaining the hierarchy of my classes in some of the documentation.

Thanks!

Check out this section of the Javadoc documentation, which explains how to embed images in your Javadoc.

Also, here is an article describing how to reverse engineer UML diagrams and embed them in your Javadoc using UMLGraph .

Run mvn javadoc:javadoc .

Clearly the easiest approach! Should add a profile for building these so you don't break other ppl's builds that don't have GraphViz in the path. – Joseph Lust Aug 16, 2013 at 17:49
