Hello everyone,
I am having trouble getting my Javadoc to work. It runs but it doesn't show anything in the HTML file that it creates. BTW I am using java 1.5.0_6 and I am using the latest version of Eclipse.
I don't know why it didn't work, and I was wondering if would have anything to do with some configuration in eclipse? or if it was some file that I was missing or other type of configuration on the system?
Thanks
this is the error report from eclipse:

Better yet: just learn to use the toold you get without using an IDE to hide it all from you.
Well I did try to use javadoc through using the command line in Dos, and it gave me the same error, not really an issue of eclipse, something wrong with javadoc. And after unistalling everything and downloading it again and still not having it work the next best thing is to get the previous version, where javadoc does the same thing. Well after doing that it works both in eclipse and through the command line.
There's nothing wrong with Javadoc itself, it works just fine here...
But I've over the years learned to avoid paths with spaces in them, which is likely your problem.
