JDK-4208989 - Provide more information with warnings
Description

Name: rlT66838			Date: 07/22/99


Can you please add an option to generate javadoc warnings
in emacs-compatible format like that used by javac, make and
others. ie. filename:linenumber: Error message,
where the filename and linenumber are the position of the error.

This would allow emacs to automatically jump to these errors
in the same way it can for javac errors.

eg.
instead of:

javadoc: warning - execute: @see Can't find buildMetadata(Connection) in com.malted.assetbase.metadata.MetadataHandler.

something like:

Permission.java:67:   @see Can't find buildMetadata(Connection) in com.malted.assetbase.metadata.MetadataHandler.
