Title: RE: how to get more debug information [HELP!]

Ok.  I STILL need help with this problem.  Please help, before I start sending pictures of myself on my knees begging!  ;-)

Here's the situation so far:
- uname -sr = SunOS 5.6
- trying to run javadoc, but it continuously returns -1 (see original posting below)
- I tried running the command on the command line without success (it seems that sh on SunOS has a 256 character limit.
- to solve the previous problem, I made changes to my version of <javadoc> so that it would use the @file command line parameter to shorten the javadoc command line

- the javadoc task still fails, but if I cut and paste the command into an xterm, it succeeds.
- the major problem that I'm having with the javadoc task is not that it's failing, but that it's not telling me why it's failing (it just shows "return -1")

- I've tried to make changes to Javadoc.java and Execute.java (the actual class that runs the javadoc command) to properly redirect the error output from the command so that I can see why it fails, but totally without success.  Can anyone point me to the right place to make the changes so that I can properly capture the output?

Please, please, how do I find out why the command is failing?  Heck, I wouldn't care about why, as much as how to solve the problem (but I really can't do that until I find out why ...)

So, please, don't make me send pictures ... please help.   ;-)
