Hi there,

the attached patch passes proxy settings to the javadoc commandline tool, which will 
be called from the <javadoc> ant task.

Proxy settings are necessary if external javadoc resources should be linked 
with the generated javadoc, and the host resides behind a firewall.

The proxy settings from the system properties must be explicitly passed to the 
javadoc commandline tool, since the tool cannot be run inside the same jvm as 
ant, and therefore a new jvm will be created for javadoc (refer to: 
http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html)


1. yes, it would be good. I work behind a proxy and feel your pain

This issue is also discussed in bug# 29870, but only workarounds are proposed.

Hi hope this patch will be merged into the Ant source tree.


Looking at, it could be a start for a more generic bit of code to propagate proxy settings to either Java or Executable instances...something that passes down the non-null settings with a custom prefix for the specific app, here -J-D,
