Summary: can't run ant task dist-javadoc as described in BUILDING.txt Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.16 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: PatchAvailable Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] After a svn checkout of: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/tags/TOMCAT_6_0_16 and a successful build I tried following the instruction in BUILDING.txt for generating the javadoc however running: ant -f dist.xml dist-javadoc produced this error: BUILD FAILED /Users/stephen/dev/java/src/tomcat_6_0_16/dist.xml:368: No source files and no packages have been specified. I needed to run this first to produce the documentation: ant -f dist.xml dist-source You could either add a statement about this to this section of the instructions in: BUILDING.txt (5) Building the servlet and jsp API documentation The documentation can be easly built: cd ${tomcat.source} ant -f dist.xml dist-javadoc Or apply this patch which adds dist-source as a dependency to the dist-javadoc ant task: Index: dist.xml =================================================================== --- dist.xml (revision 645027) +++ dist.xml (working copy) @@ -356,7 +356,7 @@ </target> - <target name="dist-javadoc" description="Create the Tomcat javadoc" > + <target name="dist-javadoc" depends="dist-source" description="Create the Tomcat javadoc" > <javadoc packagenames="org.apache.*" sourcepath="${tomcat.dist}/src/java" destdir="${tomcat.dist}/webapps/docs/api" fyI: regarding OS: I'm running MacOS 10.5.2 -- Mac OS X 10.5 should be added to your bugzilla list of OS types. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
