RE: links in javadoc - proxy problem?

[Scheffler, Mark (MED, GEMS-IT)]

It works when I run Javadoc from the command line:
javadoc -link http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/ \
        -J-Dhttp.proxyHost=151.186.56.3 -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=80 etc.

ant, in debug, mode produces only the following items that seem related
to the problem:
Setting project property: http.proxyPort -> 80
Setting project property: http.proxyHost -> 151.186.56.3
  [javadoc] javadoc: Error fetching URL:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/

As a new process.  We have to, as javadoc uses System.exit, and we can't
safely
catch this in Java 1.1 (thats my understanding anyway...).

Two questions:

1. What happens when you run javadoc manually with the link option?
2. What do you get when you run your build wtih -debug?  Is there more
information that we can use to narrow down the problem?
