EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Using a build script with Jakarta Ant 1.5.1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I have a project tree like

JavaDev
   package1
      src   -> contains com/mycorp/package1/*.java
   package2
      src   -> contains com/mycorp/package2/*.java
   buildhere
      src   -> contains unpackages serlvets (*.java) and overview.html
      war   -> HTML, WEB-INF directory, etc.
   packagen
      ...

I run an ant build.xml in JavaDev/buildhere.  Inside buildhere/src are several
servlets that belong to no package.  With 1.3.1, javadoc creates the HTML for these servlets.  But in 1.4.1, I get an exception whenever javadoc reaches one of these servlets:



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a tree similar to that in "Description".  Attempt to run javadoc for all packages and the Java files in buildhere/src.  The error appears whenever an unpackaged servlet in buildhere/src is reached.

The attached script runjavadoc.sh is:

javadoc -d doc/javadocs -classpath /usr/local/j2sdkee1.3.1/lib/j2ee.jar:../package1/package1.jar:../package2/package2.jar:../packagen/packagen.jar -overview ./src/overview.html -windowtitle "Testing javadoc 1.4.1_01" -sourcepath ./src:../package1/src:../package2/src:../packagen/src -doctitle "<h1>Testing javadoc 1.4.1_01</h1>" -bottom "<i>Copyright &#169; 2003 mindwrap, inc. All Rights Reserved.</i>" -package ./src/HelloWorld.java com.mycorp.package1 com.mycorp.package2 com.mycorp.packagen


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
All docs should build.
java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.zip.ZipFile.getInputStream(ZipFile.java:182) when no zip file is present.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

----------- BEGIN SOURCE ---------------
<see comments>
------------ END SOURCE ----------------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I'm building the javadoc with 1.3.1.  It's an inconvenience.
(Review ID: 181649) 
======================================================================

N/A

jdocbug.jar.Z is attached and should reproduce the problem without using Ant.
  xxxxx@xxxxx   2003-03-04

I am able to reproduce the InvocationTargetException and NullPointerException.
using 1.4.1_01.
These errors occur only when -classpath points to j2ee.jar.
If this is omitted, the javadocs build with only these warnings:

./src/HelloWorld.java:2: package javax.servlet does not exist
import javax.servlet.*;
^
./src/HelloWorld.java:3: package javax.servlet.http does not exist
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {

This bug is a duplicate of 4697040, which has been fixed in 1.4.2.
  xxxxx@xxxxx   2003-03-20

I also confirm this is fixed in 1.4.2 -- no errors are produced.
