Hi Samual,
How is Online help documentation different from user documentation and also from javadoc.
Online help and user documentation are essentially the same thing. Online implies HTML format. In my case, the user could access the documention thru the Help menu on client or server, and could also open it up in a web browser without starting either client or server.
Javadoc is your application's API.
You should put javadoc style comments just before each class, method and field, at least each that is either public or protected. Javadoc comments are similar to regular block comments except they start with 2 stars instead of one like this:
You generate the javadoc API with the javadoc command.
Hope this clears it up,
