I remeber you take some of my patches too, thanks.

In gjdoc case, less than 50%. You are right, I should write <gjdoc>
task independent. But main problem remains.

This is not ant problem but I would like to explain why I propose
supporting gjdoc. If I hear good idea to resolve this problem, I'm
happy. 

I maint java oss packages for Debian. Debian have 'main' and 'contrib'
section. 'main' group is official debian package which mean it's
compiled and run opensource platform(e.g. kaffe/gcj) 'contrib' group
is non-official which mean it's opensource but can't be built nor run
with opensource platform.

So, most of opensource java software create javadoc document with
javadoc task. This means I can't put such a package into main
section beacuse javadoc depend on SUN's implentation which is not
oss. I would like to increase official package for Debian. Most of
javadoc task in build file seems not to use special option. If it use,
I can igonore to obtain javadoc in most case. Then ,if gjdoc task
is separated, I must modify build.xml file for all javadoc generation
to create Debian package. I won't like to modify build.xml for each
package and I propose JavadocAdapter.

I see. If I refactor it, Sun's implementation should be splited into
each Javadoc.

Ok. Currently, I suspend supporting gjdoc. But when gjdoc grown up or
I found other javadoc compatible tool, I'll try again.

BTW, I already send the patch in bugzilla.

Please close it.

thanks,
