How do I make sure that Classes from my dependencies are included in javadoc when building an Android library with Gradle

Question

I'm building an Android library with gradle, but getting loads of errors similar to this:

/Users/scott/dev/libs/mysqlitedatabase-android/mysqlitedatabase-android-
library/src/main/java/com/mypackage/android/sub/MyDatabaseSync.java:
14: error: package org.codehaus.jackson does not exist

import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParser;
                            ^

Here is the gradle task I use to generate the javadoc:

task generateJavadoc (type: Javadoc) {
    def variant = android.libraryVariants.release
    title = "$project.name $version API"
    description "Generates Javadoc for $project.name."
    source = android.sourceSets.main.java.srcDirs
    ext.androidJar = "${android.sdkDirectory}/platforms/${android.compileSdkVersion}/android.jar"
    classpath += project.files(source) + files(variant.processJavaResources.destinationDir)
    options.links("http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/");
    options.links("http://d.android.com/reference/");
    exclude '**/BuildConfig.java'
    exclude '**/R.java'
}

I've built numerous libraries before, but with older gradle versions. I am using gradle 1.12 on this occasion.

Just to be clear. This is error while building library or while generating javadoc? — Eugen Martynov, Aug 25 '14 at 15:43
The project builds fine. The `generateJavadoc` task is used when publishing, but I also get the error if I call the task individually. — Fifer Sheep, Aug 25 '14 at 15:46
I think you forgot to add `files(variant.javaCompile.classpath.files)` to classpath. Take a look to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17033878/generate-javadocs-with-android-gradle-plugin — Eugen Martynov, Aug 25 '14 at 15:49
