This is the exact analogue of issue #50548 for web projects. Fix should be very easy; see diff in j2seproject. Fixed. |
This problem occurs with a Web Application project created under Netbeans 4.0, when I run the Generate Javadoc command for the project. If the compilation classpath for the project contains any paths which contain spaces, then error messages will be generated, like this: javadoc-build: javadoc: Illegal package name: "Files\netbeans-4.0\ide4\modules\autoload\ext\servlet-api-2.4.jar;C:\Program" javadoc: Illegal package name: "Files\netbeans-4.0\ide4\modules\autoload\ext\jsp-api-2.0.jar;web/WEB-INF/lib/hibernate2.jar;web/WEB-INF/lib/hsqldb.jar;web/WEB-INF/lib/jsf-api.jar" These errors were generated while running on Windows XP, because some of the paths in the classpath contain "C:\Program Files". The problem is not Windows-specific though; I verified that the same problem occurs on Linux if I add a directory with a space in it to the classpath. It's just that Windows systems much more commonly contain directories with spaces in their name. The problem occurs because the javadoc-build target in the web project version of build-impl.xml passes the value of the javac.classpath property to javadoc command as a commandline argument, without surrounding it in quotes. The fix is simple. Find this code in the javadoc-build target <condition property="javadoc.classpath.opt" value="-classpath ${javac.classpath}"> <not> <equals arg1="${javac.classpath}" arg2=""/> </not> </condition> Change the first line to: <condition property="javadoc.classpath.opt" value="-classpath "${javac.classpath}""> To be really correct you'd need to also handle the possiblity of paths contains a double quote character. All of this could be avoided by not passing the classpath as part of a <arg line=""/> element.
