Having had a look at the code for the javadoc task I have discovered a
work-around.
The javadoc task wraps up all argList items in quotes Except for
options (ie. starts with a hyphen '-')
the solution is to preceede the source-file list with an innocuous
option tag (I used -author since it's on by default anyway)
Hence:
<target name="fulldoc" depends="init">
<javadoc sourcepath="." destdir="${doc.dir}"
sourcefiles="-author ${appletsrc}/*.java"
</javadoc>
</target>
Which works !8^D
