Hi Jacob and All,
I finally found where was my mistake, but I believe this revealed a possible RFE for
Ant <javadoc> task in order to help diagnose such mistakes:
What happened was that my packagelistLoc path was simply wrong. The problem with Ant
<javadoc> task is that apparently in such a case it silently ignore the links option
and DOES NOT PASS IT to javadoc itself (as shown by ant -verbose). So I got no error
message.
I discovered the problem by invoking directly javadoc itself, in order to check if as
you suggested javadoc was broken. It is not broken: at the first invocation I
immediatly got an error message: "Error reading /my/wrong/path/to/package-list". I
fixed the path and everything worked fine!
Could it be and RFE to improve Ant <javadoc> task error reporting in such a case?
Thanks,
Joel
