Hi,
Just wondering does one need to Javadoc local classes(classes within functions) and if so where does this occur, either:
(1) within the function where class is called.
(2) outside function with normal function Javadoc.
Thanks.

Hi Mark,
If you are mentioning inner-classes, I have documented it like normal classes,
Just on top of class declaration no-matter where it comes, and private visibility switched-on.

Hi Mark,

I also documented the inner classes (just like it was a normal class) and documented every member (regardless of the access modifier). I generated javadoc with the -package option (shows only package, protected, and public classes and members).

Kind regards,
Roel

I documented all the things that can be documented including private variables.

I didn't have a single inner class.

I don't agree that an app without the use of inner classes is simpler and more perfect than an app using this technique (of course don't overdo it and just use them appropriately).

Kind regards,
Roel

Hi Roberto,
Just for inquisitiveness, How did you implemented ActionListener?
