I’m trying to generate javadoc

task myJavadocs(type: Javadoc) {  
source = sourceSets.main.allJava  
destinationDir(file(“doc”))  
include("\*\*/Class1.java")  
}

Gradle answered that it cannot find classes which supplied in dependendent jars. How to configure classpath to force him see classes from dependencies?  
Thanks

```gradle
task myJavadocs(type: Javadoc) {
    // likely this 
   classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath 

   // or maybe this 
   classpath = configurations.foo
} 

```
