I ran into the same problem last week. If it's any help, the workaround I chose was: - Use <copy> to copy all of the sources into a temporary directory. - Run <javadoc> on the temporary directory. Since <copy> automagically filters CVS directories by default, javadoc didn't see them. - <delete> the temporary directory.
Not pretty, but it works (and will continue to work as long as <copy>, <javadoc> , and <delete> are upwardly compatible... heh-heh).
