java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)

According to this documentation:

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.

PUBLIC COMMENTS This bug has been fixed. The standard doclet now does a "deep" recursive copy of everything in and below/under "doc-files". jamie.ho@Eng 2001-01-18 For this to be enabled, it requires this option: -docfilessubdirs and if you need it, also this option: -excludedocfilessubdir <name1>:<name2>... to exclude any doc-files subdirectories with the given names. This prevents the copying of SCCS and other source-code-control subdirectories. doug.kramer@Eng 2001-08-04

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". jamie.ho@Eng 2001-01-18 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. doug.kramer@Eng 2001-01-18
