Problem using ant to generate the javadocs

Post by TimX » Tue May 28, 2013 1:04 pm

Hi, newbie question. I'm trying to install the javadocs using the method described on p. 870 of the documentation v 1.0.14.

Having spent most of yesterday evening getting ant installed on my Windows 8 machine, ant works (" ant -version" returns sensible results).

"java -version" gives 1.7.0_21.

But I try "ant javadoc" from the jcommon-1.0.17\ant directory and I get a BUILD FAILED message, with the explanation "CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified."

There are some other posts on this forum with the same problem, but they give links which are broken.

Any suggestions?

Thank you and regards,

TimX
