RE: Javadoc excludes

[Arun Katkere <ka...@praja.com>]

We use <copydir> which takes both includes and excludes to copy selected
source files to a scratch dir and we run <javadoc> in that scratch
directory. If you keep the scratch dir around (except with a "clean"
atrget), this is not very expensive since<copydir> is intelligent enough to
copy only changed files.
 
An admittedly ugly solution. Does anyone know of a better one?

Subject: Javadoc excludes


I just setup our project to use ant and was wondering if there was a way to
'exclude' files from javadoc compilation.  We are using junit for testing
and would like to exclude our test classes (i.e. **/test/*.java).
Unfortunatly, the 'excludes' tag doesn't exist for javadoc.  Any
suggestions? 

Thanks, 
Dan

I know, it has been proposed several times but noone has submitted a
patch to implement it yet 8^).

Take a look at the additionalparam attribute.
