Skip javadoc during compilation

Question

I'm trying to build a Netbeans project (I'm not the primary developer) through the command line, using ant and it's failing in javadoc generation.

Is there any way to turn off javadoc during ant compilation?

Compilation does not include running Javadoc.Your question is unclear. — user207421, Aug 05 '15 at 10:48
@EJP So what is running `ant build.xml` if not complication? I'm open to suggestions. — Šimon Tóth, Aug 05 '15 at 10:50
Do you mean 'compilation'? I'm not responsilble for what the targets in your `build.xml` do, but a `compile` target should not include a `javadoc` step. — user207421, Aug 05 '15 at 10:55
@EJP Great, so how do I turn off javadoc generation? I can't modify the `build.xml`. — Šimon Tóth, Aug 05 '15 at 10:58

Generation of Javadoc can be skipped by explicitly invoking the build phase. Netbeans provide an internal label for this:

ant -f src_dir -Dnb.internal.action.name=build jar
