How to generate javadoc documentation with umlauts?

See the -charset, -encoding and -docencoding flags for the javadoc command.

• -encoding specifies the input encoding
• -docencoding specifies the output encoding
• -charset makes javadoc include a meta tag with encoding info

Modified from Eclipse javadoc in utf-8:

Project -> Generate Javadoc -> Next -> on the last page, in Extra Javadoc options write:

-encoding UTF-8 -charset UTF-8 -docencoding UTF-8
