             Summary: Javadoc -overview file path inconsistent
                 Key: NETBEANS-5560
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5560
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: java - Javadoc
    Affects Versions: 9.0, 12.3
            Reporter: Jeffrey


All file paths specified in a project or running a project seem to have a default directory of the project except for running javadoc. If you specify the javadoc option of "-overview overview.html" int the Project Properties -> Documenting -> Additialnal Javadoc Options it looks for in in the users login directory. The only way I can get the file in the project is to use a full path which fails for anyone else cloning the project.

I tried to use something like ${src.dir}/overview.html but that just gets converted to src/overview.html and again fails because it is relative to my login directory, not the project directory.

This problem seems to have been around for a long time but I can find no fix or workaround. Version 12.0 also completely fails to create the javadoc with some other error but 12.3 seems to have the same behavior I was seeing in 9.0.
