I had a similar approach to this working on 1.4 but you have been 5 min faster ;) Never mind... I tried yours on java 1.4.2_12 (windows) and blackdown 1.4(linux) it is working fine for my 1.4 JVM's but I do agree with you that we need a better way to deal with 1.5 dependent contib modules. Me and Doug didn't try the javadoc task before committing this. ;( bad idea!

: I tried building the java doc without any errors using java 5 but : using 1.4the api doc can not be build. the problem is that javadoc has to parse the files to generate the docs, and the 1.4 javadoc binary doesn't understand the 1.5 syntax. I've just commited a change to the build.xml so that it will only attempt to do the GData javadocs if it detecs that the users is running in a 1.5 JVM. If a few people could try this out on both 1.4 and 1.5 and sanity check it for me i'd appreciate it (i did test it, but it's always good to get a few eye balls) I feel it's important to point out, the way i did this feels like a big freaking hack to me ... if we want to support 1.5 contrib modules moving forward, we're going to want a more reobust way to deal with this. -Hoss
