Hi Rick, That does seem to be the documented way[1] to write taglets. According to Harmony's roadmap[2], they haven't implemented the javadoc tool yet. Do the taglets need to be compiled against the JDK 1.4 libraries? Since they are only used by the build system, I think it should be OK to compile them against the class libraries of Ant's default JDK (the one JAVA_HOME points to). In that case, it should work as long as JAVA_HOME points to a JDK that contains these packages.
