Hi, more info below ... comments?  Thanks!

Can you try to get a tar/zip file containing a project
where this occurs.
Simple to reproduce, just set useexternalfile=true and spread the doctitle or bottom tags across multiple lines:

           <doctitle>
           <![CDATA[<h1>My Project - ${Manifest.version}</h1>]]>
           </doctitle>
There has been some changes to the javadoc task in 1.7.0 (fixing
a number of bugs), but some issues may have been created.
With Ant 1.6.5 the doctitle/bottom were passed on command line:

[javadoc] Executing 'C:\progra~1\ibm\sdk-142\bin\javadoc.exe' with arguments:
 : :
 [javadoc] '-doctitle'
 [javadoc] '
 [javadoc]                  <h1>My Project - 2.0</h1>
 [javadoc]             '

while with Ant 1.7.0 they are passed in temp file (I changed code to NOT delete temp file and examined contents):

-doctitle '
                <h1>My Project - 2.0</h1>
           '

so newlines within doctitle/bottom on command line are handled, but not so for temp file. A simple patch to change newlines within quoted strings to literals:

--- Javadoc.java        Fri Jan 04 17:33:48 2008
+++ Javadoc.java.new    Thu Feb 21 11:38:43 2008
@@ -2224,6 +2224,9 @@ public class Javadoc extends Task {
        }
        buf.append(str);
        buf.append(delim);
+        if ((delim == '\'' || delim == '"') && str.indexOf('\n') != -1) {
+          return buf.toString().replaceAll("[\n]", "\\\\n");
+        }
        return buf.toString();
    }

seems to work and produces the same output in the html files. With this patch, the multiple lines from above become a single line in the temp file:

-doctitle '\n                 <h1>My Project - 2.0</h1>\n            '

Not saying this is the best patch, but it gets things going in the right direction.
Also, if possible, can you try a nightly build of ant, there has
been some fixes in the javadoc task since ant 1.7.0.
Got the latest (ant_20080221113427.tar.gz):

   Apache Ant version 1.8.0alpha compiled on February 21 2008

and the bug still occurs.

Greetings -

I am using Eclipse for a Java development project and Ant to build it.
The javadoc command for the project is rather lengthy so useexternalfile
is used.With Eclipse 3.2.2 and Ant 1.6.5 javadoc runs successfully, but
with Eclipse 3.3.1.1 and Ant 1.7.0 javadoc fails with the following error:

  [javadoc] Generating Javadoc
  [javadoc] Javadoc execution
  [javadoc] javadoc: invalid flag: -
  [javadoc] usage: javadoc [options] [packagenames] [sourcefiles]
[classnames] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    :  :

which indicates some corruption in the contents of the file.  Did
something change with the use of this option between 1.6.5 and 1.7.0?
Looked through bugs and mailing lists but didn't see anything similar.

I am running on WinXP with IBM SDK 1.4.2.  Just for kicks I brought the
1.6.5 plugin code over to Eclipse 3.3.1.1 and javadoc worked fine then too.

Thanks in advance

Dave
