This repository automatically generates the Javadoc for Processing 4 and hosts it on GitHub Pages at:

👉 https://processing.github.io/processing4-javadocs/

This repository uses a custom GitHub Actions workflow build-and-deploy-javadoc.yml to automatically generate and updates Javadocs in the /docs folder.

The workflow clones the processing/processing4 repository, builds the Javadocs using ant, and copies the generated files to the /docs directory of this repository. The updated Javadocs are then committed and pushed to the gh-pages branch.

The workflow is triggered every Monday at midnight (UTC) to ensure that the Javadocs are always up-to-date. You can also manually trigger the workflow if needed.

We've set "Deploy from branch" in the repo settings to trigger on push to the gh-pages branch. Every time the build-and-deploy-javadoc.yml workflow completes, it will trigger a deploy to GitHub pages.

This automation helps keep the Javadocs updated without requiring manual intervention.

Currently, the workflow checks out the main branch of the processing/processing4 repository to generate the Javadocs. As a result, the Javadocs reflect the latest changes in the main branch, which might include updates that haven't been included in an official release yet. This could lead to discrepancies between the documentation and the most recent stable release of Processing 4

• Update the workflow to generate Javadocs based on the latest stable release instead of the main branch.

The source files for the Processing 3 Javadocs can be found at https://github.com/processing/processing-javadocs
