xdoc is…

A category browser for Eclipse.

Xdoc enables you to partition your fields and methods into logical groups like: printing, creating, accessing, iterating, etc.

How does this work?

The category browser parses the Java source code looking for @cat (for category) tags. The browser displays these tags in a view. When you select one or more of the named tags, only the methods/fields that have been tagged with that category are shown in the outliner. If you’ve every used Smalltalk browsers this should seem familiar.

The next version of xdoc will provide a generic tag browser so you can choose whatever tags you like (e.g. @cat, @api, @private, @author, @since).

Xdoc is open source and free. See license for more details.
