Hello ant-dev... I noticed that the javadoc task wraps quotes around arguments, as it should. However, this messes up linkoffline, which actually requires two arguments separated by a space. Apparently the way javadoc is implemented, it expects docURL and packagelistURL to be separate elements in the command-line argument array, which doesn't jive with how the Javadoc task passes them in.
Example: is: javadoc ... -linkoffline "http://blah/myjavadocs src/packagelist-location" should be: javadoc ... -linkoffline "http://blah/myjavadocs"; "src/packagelist-location" The solution with minimum impact on the rest of the task is to find the space in the linkoffline variable and replace it with quote-space-quote (" "). There might be a better general solution, but this seemed good to me as I think linkoffline is the only option to which this applies. I have patched this code locally and it works on top of version 1.7 of the javadoc task. Would the maintainers be interested in the patch? If so, is the patch submission format documented somewhere? (I looked around--esp on the "getting involved" page--and couldn't find it.)
