It was indeed an issue of too many pathrefs rather than simply listing paths. Thanks.

So your error was that there was no reference with the id corresponding to configurations.jaxDoclet.asPath (which would be the concatinated classpath of your dependencies as a string). you would have had the same problem if you tried to reference an id in ant that you hadn't defined. cheers Magnus ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 13:13:07 -0600 Subject: [gradle-user] Classpath for Javadoc Task with AntBuilder I am using AntBuilder in Gradle to run a third-party Javadoc doclet, but I get an error saying "Caused by: Reference <all the jar files in my classpath like Spring, etc. separated by semicolons> not found." Here are the relevant snippets: configurations { jaxDoclet { extendsFrom compile } } dependencies { compile group: springFrameworkGroup, name: "spring-web", version: springFrameworkVersion . . . jaxDoclet group: "com.lunatech.doclets", name: "jax-doclets", version: "0.7" } task generateRestApiDocs(dependsOn: configurations.jaxDoclet) << { ant.javadoc( classpathref: configurations.jaxDoclet.asPath, sourcepath: file("src${File.separator}main${File.separator}java"), destdir: "${reportsDirName}${File.separator}rest-api-docs", docletpathref: configurations.jaxDoclet.asPath) { doclet(name: "com.lunatech.doclets.jax.jaxrs.JAXRSDoclet") { param name:"-jaxrscontext", value:"http://localhost:8080/" + webContext } } } Can you please provide insight into how I should adjust my configuration to get this to work? On a far less important note, it would be nice to know if there is a more elegant way to specify that my sourcepath is "src/main/java." Thanks.
