Description


01 Nov 2000,   xxxxx@xxxxx   -- user is requesting a "deep" (recursive) copy of everything in and below/under "doc-files".  See also # 4256505.

----------------

java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

According to this documentation:

http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/tooldocs/win32/javadoc.html#unprocessed

Quote:

   ... it simply copies the directory and all its contents to the destination.

The bug is that if I have a file tutorial.html in doc-files and put gif files in
a subdirectory (very common) such as doc-files/images, then that directory is
never copied. The tutorial.html file is copied, but not the images needed.

======================================================================
Work Around




Move all images out of the directory.
======================================================================
Evaluation
The following changes were made to fix this bug:

HtmlStandardWriter:

- Added constant to store the docs file directory name ("doc-files").
- Modified method "copyDocFiles" to recursively copy everything in and below/under "doc-files".

Javadoc should do a deep copy of the doc-files directory, recursively copying
*all* of its contents.  More than one developer has asked for this.
