dbdoclet - the DocBook outputting doclet for the javadoc command

There has been this utility out for a few years, a javadoc doclet called docbook Homepage .

dbdoclet - the DocBook API doc generator for Java programs:
The DocBook Doclet (dbdoclet) creates DocBook code from Java source
documentation. It is helpful, if you want to print reference handbooks of your
API. The program can be used as javadoc doclet or as standalone
application. The standalone application can be used as a converter to transform
HTML documents to DocBook documents. Additionally DocBookDoclet comes with a
Swing application called dbdoclet.TiDBit, which helps you to manage your
documentation projects and to create PDF files.


Now that DocBook has caught on, there might be a lot of Java programmers - and Java project managers - who are interested in this utility.

I think at some point, people who buy custom software and get the source code and/or library/framework APIs - will want to get DocBook format documentation with it.

This doclet will probably be something they all find very interesting.
