[dev-20040722, JDK 1.5.0 b58] It's easily possible to create non-working javadoc settings. When user unchecks 'index' checkbox under Generate part of javadoc settings the last one (Separate Index per Letter) can stay checked and then it contradicts with unchecked index. The errror then says: javadoc: error - Option -splitindex conflicts with -noindex Correct behavior should be to uncheck 'Separate Index per Letter' when user unchecks 'index'.
I already fixed this. BTW Milan this has nothing whatsoever to do with the javadoc module (which is not involved in Javadoc generation in 4.0, and handles only search and AutoComment); purely an aspect of the j2seproject module.
Still reproducible for me on beta 1 candidate 200408170540, JDK 1.5.0 b63.
I actually reproduced it on Windows.
I don't know about beta 1 candidate but in a trunk build at least it works. (Note: the checkbox for splitindex will not be unchecked when you uncheck index, it will only appear disabled, but the option will be turned off internally.)
Verified in dev-200408181800.
