java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

It would be nice if the javadoc tool would output the source file & line number
of any problems in the message.  It should output this information in the same
format as compiler errors/warning messages.

This would enable an IDE, editor, etc. to parse the output from the tool so it
could provide a quick and easy way for the developer to jump to and fix the
problem.

Currently you have to backtrack through the tool's messages to try and
determine what file may have generated the warning/error.
