Are you talking about a program that just executes javadoc?

Or are you talking about writing an artificial intelligence program that will analyze code and write salient comments? That would be pretty impressive, as it is difficult with current technology to find humans with that capability! Anyway, if that is what you are intending, you will probably want to start with a lexical analysis tool, like Javacc.
