I've been developing an Ant build file for a large-ish base of existing code. I've been using my Mac as the primary devleopment platform, but the ultimate target (for the other developers) is Windows. My task to build the javadocs runs fine on OS X, but the first time I rant it on Windows, I got the following:
c:\demo\build.xml:180: Javadoc failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\javadoc.exe": CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect
After about 10 minutes of Googling, I found a/the simple solution: add the useexternalfile attribute to the javadoc task in Ant. Voila , back in business, on the PC at least, and it didn't seem to break the build on the Mac.

Hi, this is not really a comment about this article...
I think you mean "voila" when you said "viola".
take care, "viola" mean "raped" ^^
This fixed my problem - Thanks.
Thanks, mamie. That was an unintentional typo, although sometimes in speech I say "viola" as a gag. Maybe I've been using that so long that it's made it into my typing subconscious.
Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot.
Only a comment. The cause of the error is a too long sentence sent to the task. Just adding useexternalfile="yes" fixes it.
This fixed my problem as well.....thanks
