How can I exclude certain public members or classes from being documented?
Often you need to make a method public so that it can be accessible from other packages, not because you want it to be part of the public API. Having these methods appear in the documentation merely confuses application developers. There is currently no way to hide, exclude or suppress public members from the javadoc-generated documentation. If you want to exclude public classes or interfaces, you cannot do so when specifying package names on the command line.
