Does anyone know a way (or even a ready-to-use tool) that generates JAVA source code files from javadoc HTML files?



Background:


If your development project makes use of external middleware and you start designing your application on an abstract level (e.g. using UML and a CASE tool), you need to model the API of the middleware, too. Many commercial JAVA middleware products come without source code but with an API documentation in javadoc compatible HTML format. It would be very helpful if one could generate at least some rudimentary JAVA source code files (including all the interface definitions) from the javadoc files available.
