+but only those matching the inclusion rules will be passed to the javadoc tool. This

+"changed" files, unlike the <a href="#javac">javac</a> task. This means
+all packages will be processed each time this task is run. In general, however,
+this task is used much less frequently.</p>
<p>This task works seamlessly between different javadoc versions (1.1 and 1.2),
with the obvious restriction that the 1.2 attributes will be ignored if run in a
1.1 VM.</p>
-<p>NOTE: since javadoc calls System.exit(), we cannot run javadoc inside the

-the VM. But this is not a performance penalty since javadoc is normally a heavy
-application and must be called just once.</p>
+<p>NOTE: since javadoc calls System.exit(), javadoc cannot be run inside the
+same VM as ant without breaking functionality. For this reason, this task
+always forks the VM. This overhead is not significant since javadoc is normally a heavy
+application and will be called infrequently.</p>
+<p>NOTE: the packagelist attribute allows you to specify the list of packages to
+document outside of the Ant file. It's a much better practice to include everything
+inside the build.xml file. This option was added in order to make it easier to
+migrate from regular makefiles, where you would use this option of javadoc.
+The packages listed in packagelist are not checked, so the task performs even
+if some packages are missing or broken. Use this option if you wish to convert from
+an existing makefile. Once things are running you should then switch to the regular
+notation.
+
<p>DEPRECATION: the javadoc2 task simply points to the javadoc task and it's
there for back compatibility reasons. Since this task will be removed in future
versions, you are strongly encouraged to use <a href="#javadoc">javadoc</a>
