      java version "1.3.0"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

      The documentation for the -group option of javadoc under Win32 is not clear
      whether package patterns should be separated by colons or semi-colons.
      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/tooldocs/win32/javadoc.html#group
      and
      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/tooldocs/win32/javadoc.html#group

      The text says "Multiple patterns can be included in a group by separating them
      with semicolons (;). " but both the heading and examples use colons.

      I have tested this on Win32 and indeed you seem to need to use colons. I think
      the documentation should be updated.
