I am trying out ant1.5Beta1 (downloaded yesterday).
There seems to be a problem running a javadoc target that causes a
NullPointerException.
This behavior does not occur with ant1.4.1 and it did not occur a few weeks
ago when I built ant myself from cvs (I don't do it now, though).
For the record, the javadoc task is not running with the default doclet. If
I run it with the default doclet, all is well, however the doclet I am using
does work with ant 1.4.1.
Here are the specifics:
My build.xml snip:
............
<target name="doccheck" depends="prepare">
<javadoc
packagenames="${packages}"
sourcepath="${src.home}"
destdir="${doccheck.home}"
docletpathref="project.classpath"
doclet="com.sun.tools.doclets.doccheck.DocCheck"
excludepackagenames="**.testing"
defaultexcludes="yes"
>
<classpath refid="project.classpath"/>
</javadoc>
</target>
............
