Actionscript or Java preprocessor

[anb0s]

Original Savannah ticket 472 reported by gbrocker on Mon Mar 14 06:52:44 2005.

I am trying to Doxygen and eclox with actionscript which is similar to Java.
It seems to be having trouble with
"MyClass extends MyBaseClass"
It associates the attributes of MyClass with MyBaseClass and MyClass is documented as having no methods or properties.
Is there a java pre-compiler that I have to apply to make this work correctly.
Where do I specify this in eclox?

Well, eclox is only the GUI bridge between Doxygen and Eclipse. While reading your description, it seems to me that it more likely releated to Doxygen than Eclox.

For what I know, Doxygen supports Java but I never tried this feature. In the user's manual, I found something that could help you. Follow the link below.

You are correct. I was just hoping that you might have tried to use Doxygen with Java and found a filter. I have been searching the Doxygen site for a filter for Java. They seem to imply that it exists but I could not find a specific file. Now at least I know where it is handled in the configuration file.

Many in the Actionscript community is adopting Eclipse as the alternative to MacroMedia's Flash IDE which is more suited to animation than programming.
I have been encouraging this and if we can get a good JavaDoc tool, that will be one more step towards a professional IDE.

I will pursue this on their site and user groups.

Thanks
