Building and deploying the doc EAR file for developers

The doc EAR contains only development-related documentation, including API Javadocs, ERDs, and XSDs, and should not be deployed to a production server. The doc EAR does not contain end-user documentation, such as context-sensitive help files.

By default, the documentation EAR is not built and deployed with the application EAR. The BUILD_DOC_EAR property is in the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/sandbox.config file and is set to "false", which prevents the documentation EAR from building and deploying with the application EAR in a production environment.

If you want to create the documentation EAR when you build the application EAR, set this property to "true" in the sandbox.config file, and then run the setupfiles script.
Note:
The create-ear parameter -Dnodocear=true takes precedence over the BUILD_DOC_EAR property. For example, if the BUILD_DOC_EAR property is set to "true" but the -Dnodocear=true parameter is used with the create-ear script, the documentation EAR does not build.
