I am very happy to announce that now ApexDoc is available as Native "Eclipse Plugin". So no more need to go command line and provide parameters. You can simply go to your Force.IDE, select your classes folder, right click on that and Generate your ApexDoc, all in one place. Isn't it cool :)
Ok, so here is the guidelines, how to install the plugin and use it.1) Go to http://www.aslambari.com/apexdocplugin.html
2) Download the plugin from there. It will give you one plugins.zip file. Unzip that file.
3) You will get one "com.apex.doc_1.0.0.jar" file. Copy this file.
4) Go to your
5) Paster the copied jar file into this directory.
6) Now restart (if eclispe is already running) your
7) Now go to any Force.com Project you have setup in your
8) Right click on that folder, from shortcut menu select "Force.com", a sub menu will appear, you can see "Generate ApexDoc..." menu item in your submenu.
9) Now click on "Generate ApexDoc...". One ApexDoc dialog box will open.
10) All options here are self explanatory. The "Source Directory" is already filled up your selection. The "Target Directory" is where you want to generate output Documentation generated. "Home HTML File" is your sample home file for index page. "Author File" is for header areas for documentation.
11) Select appropriate options and Click on "Generate" button. It will generate documentation on your selected target directory and you will be prompted one message dialog that says "DONE"
12) If there is any issue, not generated your documentation, you can find one log file generated in youreclipse installation with name "apex_doc_log.txt".
12) If there is any issue, not generated your documentation, you can find one log file generated in your
So, this is very useful for Force.com developers and non programmers to use this plugin

So enjoy documenting :)
Thanks

ApexDoc Plugin Version 1.1 Released By Habib, Good work... http://code.google.com/p/apexdoc/downloads/list
Target Directory. Click "Browse For Folder" button. Opens dialog to chose folder. Select "Local Disk (D:)". After this action "D:\" text appears in text field. After generating docs it asks to open. But path has is "D:\\ApexDocumentation\index.html". TWO back slashes. It cause error.
If I remove slash in text field so it will look "D:". Then it will work fine.
Doc generates OK. But if no path edited then error. If D: then OK.
