The javadoc of the module-info of the JDK 11 modules use the tag @moduleGraph.

I guess this is what generates the module graphs: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.desktop/module-summary.html

Is this a non-standard tag? I can't find any documentation on this tag and it doesn't work when I add it.

Is there a way to generate this graph?

  • Nothing public but you could look into something like `com.sun.tools.jdeps.ModuleGraphBuilder` to get an idea of how such a graph is built. – Naman Jan 15 '20 at 03:34

Yes, it is a custom javadoc tag only for building the OpenJDK javadocs.

The new @moduleGraph javadoc custom tag was created by JDK-8173303. The graph images themselves are created by a tool called GenGraphs.
