I am trying to generate the javadoc for my Android app in Eclipse. I've done the following steps:
File -> Export -> Java -> Javadoc -> Check project and enter destination, press finish
This generates many warnings/errors regarding 'cannot find symbol ...' which is similar to this post
Following the solution from that post, I export as an ant script which creates javadoc.xml I then added the path to my android.jar to the classpath field.
If I run the script I get one warning which reads:
warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.5 javadoc:
error - Illegal package name: ""
The console also says Loading source files for package ...., for each package and then build successful. But the only thing generated is an empty directory doc.
After searching for a solution to this I found an article which says the problem comes from having spaces in the class path names. I check my paths and sure enough I have a space in 'Program Files'. I've tried to fixing this by delimiting the space several ways but I can't get it to work. Just to see what happens I deleted the offending line from the class path and the same error occurs..so that leads me to believe the error may lay elsewhere. Any ideas?
UPDATE
I found a discussion here that pointed me to checking my CLASSPATH environment variable. I had a duplicate value.. '.;' and '%CLASSPATH%.;' I removed the latter and the error went away.
I'm still left with the warning noted above, "bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.5". It's not causing any problems that I can notice, but if anyone knows a way to fix it that would be great
