The major problem is that in order to be a drop-in replacement for the purposes of the javadoc ant task, the JDK bin directory (/usr/lib/kaffe/bin for Kaffe) must contain a "javadoc" program that calls gjdoc. I think the next upstream version of Kaffe will have this integrated.

The minor problem is that the gjdoc task in ant calls the gjdoc class directly, without using the wrapper script /usr/bin/gjdoc that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jni and -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=gnu.xml.libxmlj.transform.TransformerFactoryImpl . However, once the major problem is solved, the minor problem goes away because the gjdoc task is no longer needed.

Once those issues are taken care of, the only question remaining is compatibility in functionality. When testing gjdoc to build libservlet2.3-java, I only encountered one feature that didn't work. gjdoc couldn't process the "-bottomnote" option, even though that option is listed in the manpage. When I passed that option with argument "Copyright © 1999-2001 The Apache Software Foundation. All Rights Reserved.", gjdoc returned this error:

1) yes, gjdoc is in kaffe1.1.5, see debian-java mailing list for unofficial debian pre-release http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2004/05/msg00024.html

2) ant calls the javadoc binary (or shell script) from JAVA_HOME/bin. It's clear in the ant source code. You can also try to modify the shell script (with an additional 'echo') and you'll see the result.

3) try to replace the entity with '(c)'; it's probably an entity problem.

Many thanks for your comments, I'll try to upload libservlet2.3-java with your patch asap but will be very busy from tomorrow until late next week, but Stefan Gybas already saw your patch and for him it's OK, but he is very busy at the moment also.
