PLDoc release 0.8.2 Available

At 21st July 2004, release 0.8.2 of the PLDoc open source project for generating JavaDoc style documentation for PL/SQL Code (and now also Tables and Views) was published. PLDoc is very useful for producing high quality and standardized PL/SQL Documentation. It is good to see how active this project is! For an introduction see also my ODTUG 2004 paper Cross Breeding Java and PL/SQL.

    I just came across Natural Docs, which provides an alternative for PLDoc. It support generation of documentation for 14 programming languages in a more or less generic way – that should mean that you can easily mix documentation for PL/SQL, Java, JavaScript. Of course it is not specifically geared towards PL/SQL so it may not have all nuances that PLDoc has. It also strays somewhat farther away from JavaDoc, as it offers an alternative to JavaDoc. But looks good! I should give it a try and see how it works out in actual practice.
