Usage

The taglets can be used directly in the Maven Javadoc Plugin.

<project>
  ...
  <reporting>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.6</version>
        <configuration>

          <!-- To allow Javadoc Tool to generate annotation for Mojo fields -->
          <show>private</show>

          <tagletArtifacts>
            <tagletArtifact>
              <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-plugin-tools-javadoc</artifactId>
              <version>3.4</version>
            </tagletArtifact>
          </tagletArtifacts>
          ...
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </reporting>
  ...
</project>
