Usage

Include following fragment in your pom.xml under .project.build.plugins.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${maven-javadoc-plugin.version}</version>
    <configuration>
        <doclet>com.github.dakusui.mddoclet.MdDoclet</doclet>
        <docletArtifact>

            <artifactId>mddoclet</artifactId>
            <version>${mddoclet-doclet-plugin.version}</version>
        </docletArtifact>
        <useStandardDocletOptions>false</useStandardDocletOptions>
        <additionalOptions>
            <additionalOption>-overview ${project.basedir}/src/main/javadoc/overview.md</additionalOption>
            <additionalOption>-d ${project.build.outputDirectory}/JavaMarkdown</additionalOption>
            <additionalOption>--source-path ${project.build.sourceDirectory}</additionalOption>

            <additionalOption>-target-packages '.*#.*example.*'</additionalOption>
        </additionalOptions>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>attach-javadocs</id>
            <phase>pre-site</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>jar</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Do not forget you need to define the property: mddoclet-doclet-plugin.version.

Then, do mvn clean package.

It will generate documentation set generated from your JavaDoc comment for your classes whose pacakge name contains example (--target-packages). The generated files will be found under target/classes/JavaMarkdown (-d). Absolute links to .md generated by this doclet from your Java source files will have /docs/default/Component/autotest-ca/3-APISpecifications before the path from src/main/java (-base-path).
