Building Java Reference Documentation for Earlier SDK versions
The Amazon SDK for Java API Reference represents the most recent build of version 1.x of the SDK. If you’re using an earlier build of the 1.x version, you might want to access the SDK reference documentation that matches the version you’re using.
The easiest way to build the documentation is using Apache’s
Maven
-
Locate and select the SDK version that you’re using on the releases
page of the SDK repository on GitHub. -
Choose either the
zip
(most platforms, including Windows) ortar.gz
(Linux, macOS, or Unix) link to download the SDK to your computer. -
Unpack the archive to a local directory.
-
On the command line, navigate to the directory where you unpacked the archive, and type the following.
mvn javadoc:javadoc
-
After building is complete, you’ll find the generated HTML documentation in the
aws-java-sdk/target/site/apidocs/
directory.
