xdocs working?

I am getting failures when I try and run xdocs today.

    [xdocs] javadoc: In doclet class xdoclet.DocletTask$DocletMain,  method
start has thrown an exception java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
BUILD FAILED

java1.4, 2 CPU, WinXP gold, etc. Anyone else seen this (or run xdocs for a
while?)

I just ran it myself and got this:

     [xdocs]   Generating output for 
'org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ANTLR' using template file 
'file:/Users/erik/dev/jakarta/jakarta-ant/proposal/xdocs/templates/task_xdoc.template'.
     [xdocs] Running XDoclet failed.
     [xdocs] <<org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.ANTLR>>
     [xdocs] 1 error
     [xdocs] 61 warnings
     [xdocs] javadoc: In doclet class xdoclet.DocletTask$DocletMain, 
method start has thrown an exception 
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

I'm running it on a different box and environment than I did our 
appendix E generation.  But here's the deal - xdocs requires running 
with a *complete* version of Ant, meaning all the dependencies for the 
third party stuff is available so that it can do a Class.forName and 
newInstance (for EnumeratedAttribute lookup).

So, if you can provide all the JAR's (ANTLR.jar is missing in my case) 
and a completely full version of Ant decked with all the tasks, then it 
will run.

But aren't you running against Axis' code instead?  In that case, you'll 
need the Axis libraries in the classpath as well as pointing at the 
source code.  Tricky and fiddly to get running, but look at the results!

So just so I understand what Axis is doing.... they have their own 
custom Ant tasks marked up with @tags that you want generated into XML 
files for documentation generation?

I will have a look-see by the end of the weekend hopefully.

well, Axis 1.0RC1 went out today and the final release is next friday. So,
an early examination would be good :)

We need to upgrade to a newer version of XDoclet at the very least, 
otherwise I cannot even have a worthy look at it.  Keep nagging me if 
you don't resolve this and I'll try to have a look at it soon - I may 
even be an XDoclet committer soon, even.
