We are not aware of any general bugs that would hang Javadoc.
Would you please look through the log and tell us the error it reports?
The list of Javadoc features that worked in 1.3.1 but are broken in
1.4.0 is here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/relnotes.html#javadoc
Here are two possible culprits:
- javadoc cannot handle packages named *.java (regression)
- When passing package names into Javadoc, it mistakenly
documents any .class files (belonging to the specified packages)
that it encounters on classpath.

I'm seeing the same problem, sometimes. It hangs on "Building tree for all the packages and classes...". I identified one package that causes the problem but when I ran javadoc on the one package it worked!!!
There is a similar bug #4646923 but it appears to be in a different place than my error.
I was able to run javadoc v1.3 on all my packages without a problem.
