[Geotools-devel] generating javadoc with ant?

[William T. S. <bu...@vi...>]

Hi,

I would like to use the GeoTools2 API to provide GIS functionality for some
simulation modeling I'm doing.  I may be able to provide a "reader" or two
for some of the data formats out there (e.g. GEODAS bathymetry grids), if
that's of interest at all.

In the meantime, how can I generate the javadocs for GeoTools2 using ant?
I've followed the "how to build GeoTools2" html file instructions to the
point where I've now downloaded and installed ant 1.4.1 from the link
given--and I've successfully built GeoTools (whoo-hoo!). I  also downloaded
the "xalan" tar file from the link under the javadoc discussion and
installed bsf.jar, xalan.jar and xerces.jar in the $ANT_HOME/lib directory.
Since there aren't any instructions on how to run ant to construct the
javadocs, I guessed that I just had to rerun ant (i.e., "ant release") from
the gtbuild folder to create the javadocs.  That, however, doesn't seem to
be the case.  What am I missing?  I'm running J2SE on an NT4 workstation,
and use Forte4Java (ver. 4) as an IDE.

Thanks for your help!
