Description
The javadoc documentation list -source as a doclet options.
That's wrong: it's a tool option.

> Then there's a bug in the tool documentation for both 1.4.0 and
> 1.4.1, at least.
> 
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#source
> http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#source
> 
> In both of these cases, -source is in the "Options Provided by the 
> Standard Doclet" section, not the "Javadoc Options" section.
> 
> The reason this matters is that, for example, the Ant Javadoc task 
> actually has code to prevent the use of the -source option when a 
> custom doclet is being used. They are mistakenly adhering to the 
> buggy tool documentation.
