Including building Javadoc in an Ant build.xml file

The <javadoc> task can be used to automatically create Javadoc. For example:

<target name="doc">
        <javadoc 
            sourcefiles="${src}/**.java"
            destdir="${javadoc.destination}"
            author="true" version="true">
        </javadoc>
</target>
