Javadoc/Doclet with Gradle does not find flag doctitle

Hi!

I am using gradle with javadoc-doclets, and I run always into the next error:

I have the next tasks in the build.gradle:

task myJavadocs(type: Javadoc) {
    source = sourceSets.main.allJava
 classpath = configurations.compile
 destinationDir = file("./doc/")
  }
    task myDoclet(type: Javadoc, dependsOn: myJavadocs) {
 source = sourceSets.main.allJava
 options.doclet = 'Doclet2'
 classpath = configurations.compile
 List pathList = new ArrayList();
 pathList.add(sourceSets.main.classesDir);
 options.docletpath = pathList
    }

The thing is that, when I run the task “myJavaDocs”, it just runs perfectly, without problems. But when I run the one to generate my the documentation with my own doclets, I receive an error that says that javadoc can not find the flag doctitle. It is like that:

C:\myproject>gradle myDoclet

The point is that “doctitle” is an option from the Standard Doclet, and I am using my own Dolcet that does not include it. So, when gradle puts that “doctitle” option there (I assume it is gradle, because I have not seen anything that sets that option), it creates that error.

Is there any way to “dissable” that automatic “doctitle” from Gradle? Or is there any way to add the standard doclet options to my Doclet?

Thank you very much for your time! :slight_smile:

Which Gradle version?

Hi!

Sorry, have found the problem, and it was a Javadoc problem, not a Gradle problem. In my doclet, I have not extended the Standard Doclet, so I was not able to access the “doctitle flag”(it is a part of the Standard Doclet).

Sorry for that, and thanks for answering!
