I saw this helping another engineer and think it is worth someone looking into. It appears that javadocs are being created in a default location on C drive rather than in the user specified directory input into the pop-up window. Test steps are: 1. delete any existing javadoc directory 2. create some javadocs from a mounted filesystem Testing on Windows 2000 Not totally sure of this one, so apologies in advance if this works for you...
We tried to reproduce it on Win2000 and linux but works OK. Closing as WORKSFORME. If you can still reproduce please reopen and attach detailed steps how to reproduce.
