Hi Tracey,
Welcome to the Ranch!

SearchFirst (<-- click) then come back with specific questions. These search results give good explanations of
What is JavaDoc. There are JavaDocs for the official Java libraries (JSE,
JEE, etc.). Authors of other Java libraries, frameworks, components, usually publish their own JavaDocs as well. There is no ONE JavaDocs for all of Java because "all of Java" continues to grow all the time; it's an ever-expanding universe in and of itself
Tip: Our forums software has a neat feature that automatically links a fully qualified standard Java class name to its JavaDocs. For example, I just had to type
java.lang.String in the editor and the forum software automatically turned it into a link. Go ahead, try clicking on the text with the dotted underline. You don't even have to post the message to use this feature. Just click on the Preview button when you're editing a message and you can click on the link in the Preview.
