Using the Maven plugin¶
Note
Dokka Maven plugin does not support multi-platform projects.
The Maven plugin is available in JCenter. You need to add the JCenter repository to the list of plugin repositories if it's not there:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>jcenter</id>
<name>JCenter</name>
<url>https://jcenter.bintray.com/</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
Minimal Maven configuration is
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${dokka.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>dokka</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
By default files will be generated in target/dokka
.
The following goals are provided by the plugin:
dokka:dokka
- generate HTML documentation in Dokka format (showing declarations in Kotlin syntax)dokka:javadoc
- generate HTML documentation in Javadoc format (showing declarations in Java syntax)dokka:javadocJar
- generate a .jar file with Javadoc format documentation
Configuration options¶
The available configuration options are shown below:
<plugin>

</root>
</sourceRoots>
<!-- Specifies the location of the project source code on the Web. If provided, Dokka generates "source" links
for each declaration. -->
<sourceLinks>
<link>
<!-- Source directory -->
<path>${project.basedir}/src/main/kotlin</path>
<!-- URL showing where the source code can be accessed through the web browser -->
<url>https://github.com/cy6erGn0m/vertx3-lang-kotlin/blob/master/src/main/kotlin</url> <!-- //remove src/main/kotlin if you use "./" above -->
<!--Suffix which is used to append the line number to the URL. Use #L for GitHub -->
<lineSuffix>#L</lineSuffix>
</link>
</sourceLinks>
<!-- Disable linking to online kotlin-stdlib documentation -->
<noStdlibLink>false</noStdlibLink>
<!-- Disable linking to online JDK documentation -->
<noJdkLink>false</noJdkLink>
<!-- Allows linking to documentation of the project's dependencies (generated with Javadoc or Dokka) -->
<externalDocumentationLinks>
<link>
<!-- Root URL of the generated documentation to link with. The trailing slash is required! -->
<url>https://example.com/docs/</url>
<!-- If package-list file located in non-standard location -->
<!-- <packageListUrl>file:///home/user/localdocs/package-list</packageListUrl> -->
</link>
</externalDocumentationLinks>
<!-- Allows to customize documentation generation options on a per-package basis -->
<perPackageOptions>
<packageOptions>
<!-- Will match kotlin and all sub-packages of it -->

<!-- Allows to use any dokka plugin, eg. GFM format -->
<dokkaPlugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>gfm-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${dokka.version}</version>
</plugin>
</dokkaPlugins>
<!-- Configures a plugin separately -->

Applying plugins¶
You can add plugins inside the dokkaPlugins
block:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>dokka-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${dokka.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>dokka</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<dokkaPlugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jetbrains.dokka</groupId>
<artifactId>kotlin-as-java-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${dokka.version}</version>
</plugin>
</dokkaPlugins>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Some plugins can be configured separately using plugin's fully qualified name. For example:
<pluginsConfiguration>
<org.jetbrains.dokka.base.DokkaBase>
<customStyleSheets>
<customStyleSheet><!-- path to custom stylesheet --></customStyleSheet>
</customStyleSheets>
<customAssets>
<customAsset><!-- path to custom asset --></customAsset>
</customAssets>
</org.jetbrains.dokka.base.DokkaBase>
</pluginsConfiguration>
