[help needed] Javadoc problem with many files
Hi,
I have an Ant script generating my javadoc every night. I have about 5700 java files making about 42MB of data.
It worked fine for two years until two weeks ago, where the script stopped with the following message :
<<
[... big snip...]
[javadoc] C:\Temp\Java\blablabla.java:58: cannot resolve symbol
[...snip...]
[javadoc]public HtmlComponent getCell(
[javadoc]^
[javadoc] 100 errors
[javadoc] 1 warning
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 minute 40 seconds
>>
If I execute the javadoc generation on a smaller set of java source files, I still have a lot (100 displayed) of error messages like the one above (which generaly don't stop javadoc), but the generation continues :
<<
[...big snip...]
[javadoc] C:\Temp\Java\xxx.java:12: cannot resolve symbol
[...snip...]
[javadoc]public SelectionNoop(Fig fig) {
[javadoc] ^
[javadoc] Standard Doclet version 1.4.2_08

[...big snip...]
[javadoc] Generating C:\temp\JavadocNewSI\stylesheet.css...
[javadoc] 6251 warnings
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 23 minutes 33 seconds
>>
I don't understand what's going on. It is not a memory problem since it issues an intelligible message.
I also managed to generate javadoc for several subsets, so it can't be a problem with one file or folder crashing javadoc.
Any help welcome,
Tug
