Hi Charles & Dion,

Thanks for your recommendations!

Here's what I did:

In my project's build.properties:
    maven.doccheck.tools.jar = ${tools.jar}
    maven.jar.override = on
    maven.jar.javadoc = ${maven.doccheck.tools.jar}

By default, it uses the tools.jar maven uses.  In case you are running
it on Java 1.5, you can put the following in your
$HOME/build.properties:
    maven.doccheck.tools.jar = /j2sdk1.4.2_04/lib/tools.jar

In Java 1.3 and before, it doesn't seem to compile anyways.  Something
about the class version not being right.

Best regards,
