Using a taglet with Javadoc in Netbeans

Question

I've written a custom taglet, compiled it and am now trying to use it but keep getting a ClassNotFoundException when I try to run it with javadoc:

javadoc: error - Error - Exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException thrown while trying to register Taglet proj2.javadoc.CustomTaglet...

In netbeans under the documentation I've specified the following arguments:

-taglet proj2.javadoc.CustomTaglet -tagletpath c:\

I've put the class file in C:\ (for now at least) and I've triple checked the class name but I'm still getting the exception. Is there something I'm missing here?

You should put class files in a path matching their package name. So netbeans/javadoc is looking for your CustomTaglet.class in c:\proj2\javadoc

Dah, silly mistake - you're dead right, I thought I'd tried this but clearly missed it! Much appreciated. – Michael Berry Mar 08 '11 at 19:10
