Hi Jonathan,
I have this structure:
└── src
└── main
├── java
└── p
└── Main.java
|── snippet-files
└── ShowOptional.java
I think that IDE passes wrong parameters to the javadoc tool though I have
no idea what should be changed. E.g. if I try to generate javadoc for the
whole 'p' directory, snippet-files are passed as [sources] but I have still
the same error. What should be on the command line?
Thanks,
Anna
