What you think about a Beautiful and Useful JavaDoc

Why only customers can use Web2.0 applications? And the Developers? Ok, We have access to Gmail, Flick, box.net, a lot of really cool geeks apps, but we can turn our JavaDocs, much more impressive then we have nowdays.To do that use Docwrench Doclet (http://www.docwrench.com/). The Following Image shows how look your future Docs:

Reading this site, I think it is an evaluation, but it would be great if could be free, and maybe to integrante as a plugin in Maven2.

• I tried it, and it produced some not so pretty output. It must be just for smaller codebases right now. I'll definitely try again at release 1.0.It a pretty cool thing, I think Robert will make it free.

• That is a good looking one, but had some issues when I tried to find something there, hit ctrl+f at http://www.thinlet.com/docwrench/demo/docwrench/example/ExampleClass.html#methods the word parameter. So, that is because it beta yet ;)

• I give preference to using a fat client such as Intellij IDEA, because it has much more advanced navigation features than this Web 2.0 version. If only the jar and bytecode formats supported embedding javadoc and parameter names...

• Well, I did a JavaDoc using it at my new customer, and they loved it :), I really would like to see it free! and maybe OpenSource :o)
