Picard Javadoc Download

Question

[William]

I would like to use the picard java api for reading bam files.

Where can I find and download the javadoc zip/jar file for the picard projects? I can only find the javadoc online but I want to use the javadoc from inside my IDE Netbeans.

the sources and the javadoc can be downloaded using subversion:

 svn co "https://picard.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/picard" picard
 cd picard
 ant javadoc

I only downloaded the sources for version 1.79 : svn co "https://picard.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/picard/branches/1.79" picard . Otherwise the sources for all the verions are downloaded.

cd picard

ant javadoc

results in an error:

[javadoc] Generating Javadoc

[javadoc] Javadoc execution

[javadoc] 1 error

[javadoc] javadoc: error - Cannot find doclet class net.sf.picard.util.MetricsDoclet
