Code examples play an important role to explain the usage of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), but most API documents do not provide sufficient code examples. For example, for the JDK 5 documents (JavaDocs), only 2% of APIs have code examples. In this paper, we propose a technique that automatically augments API documents with code examples. Our approach finds and embeds code examples for more than 75% of the APIs in JavaDocs 5.
