JCite makes it possible to cite snippets of Java source code in your HTML documents (API documentation, for instance). The snippets are copied out of Java class source files, which should be part of the regular build. This guarantees that the cited snippets are always up-to-date. If you cite from unit tests, you even get the guarantee that they still work correctly. Finally, thanks to the excellent Java2Html library, the cited snippets get automatic syntax highlighting.

Recent releases


Release Notes: A proper Ant task and support for using citations as tripwires (see http://arrenbrecht.ch/jcite/tripwire.htm) were added. Minor fixes were made.


Release Notes: JCite can now format inline blocks (rather than citing them from sources). The option to cite Excel formulas only (rather than citing current value + formula) was added. The option to cite entire class files was added. The Java source code highlighter now inserts additional spaces in situations where a highlighted character and a non-highlighted character would be adjacent. This works around an Eclipse code formatter quirk. Excel named ranges are always listed in alphabetically ascending order.


Release Notes: There are new citelets for citing Excel sheets and plain text/HTML snippets.
