Included Set

When calling Javadoc you pass in the access control options (-public, -protected, -package, and -private), which filter program elements, producing a result set called the included set, or "documented" set.

Note: This notion is somewhat different from the meaning of the Doc/@isIncluded attribute. Although, that attribute also has "Included" in its name, actually, it refers to the active set, which is what has been directly specified for documenting on the Javadoc command line. The included set, on the contrary, may contain extra classes not intended for documenting.
