I tried to use comma-separated lists in "group" and it failed to + work right, putting those into "Other Packages" instead of where I specified. + Regular Expressions didn't work either the way the work in other parts of the + ant system. I finally found out why by reading the documentation for the + javadoc tool in jdk1.3.1, where I discovered that javadoc uses ':' or ';' for a + separator in the -group option based on the platform, even though it uses comma + separated for the package list itself. Ant does no processing on these + arguments the way it does for its fileset and javac tags. + + This also means there may be a system-dependency error in using group in the + javadoc task that I don't think is handled by ant correctly (though I can't + confirm it now, not having a windows box to test on). group should either 1) + use commas to be consistent with the other package list or 2) accept both ":" + and ";" and correctly convert them across platforms the way the classpath system + of ant does. \ No newline at end of file
