Problem with javadoc generation (jdk1.4)

[Sukhwinder Singh <ss...@hotmail.com>]

Hello,
    I downloaded http://xml.apache.org/axis/dist/beta2/xml-axis-beta2-src.tar.gz and tried to compile it using Jdk1.4 on Win 95. 

Build failed when it tired to generate javadocs.

There is a package named org.apache.axis.providers.java. I think problem is javadoc treats it as a java source file instead of a package and complains about non-existent java source file named org.apache.axis.providers.java.

I was able to compile only after adding this attribute of javadoc tag: excludepackagenames="org.apache.axis.providers.java.*" because failonerror="false" didn't work.

Also in build.xml axis version is written as beta1 instead of beta2
<property name="axis.version" value="beta1"/>

I think problem is with jdk1.4 javadoc. I thought I should report it so that you can determine if it is really javadoc problem?

Also there is no file explaining what is required to compile this source package. One thing I was unable to determine is security files(${security.present}). Where this package is available?

try using ant1.5beta1 for java1.4 work, if at all possible. It's the only
version of ant that is approximately aware of java1.4. then if it still
doesnt work, consider filing an ant bug.
