[udig-devel] get documentation from javadoc

[Jody Garnett]

Interesting; I think you would be better served to write your own Java 5 
annotations.
a) you can right a javadoc plug-in that will place your annotation 
information into the generated javadocs (see geoapi codebase for examples)
b) the annotation information is stored at the java reflection api 
level; so you can simply look up your documentation as needed

Finally have you given any thought to internationalization? You may just 
want to mark the command with a key; and then look up the keys in a 
property file?
