1Z0-811 Exception Handling and Development Tools Practice Question

Which tool is used to generate documentation comments from Java source code?

⚠ Common exam trap

Oracle often tests the distinction between the Java compiler (javac), the runtime launcher (java), and the documentation generator (javadoc), so the trap here is confusing the purpose of javac (compilation) with javadoc (documentation generation) because both operate on source code.
