java version "1.4.0-beta3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta3-b84, mixed mode)


When using com.sun.tools.javadoc.Main.execute(
    java.lang.String programName,
    java.io.PrintWriter errWriter,
    java.io.PrintWriter warnWriter,
    java.io.PrintWriter noticeWriter,
    java.lang.String defaultDocletClassName,
    java.lang.String[] args)

it seems that the errWriter,warnWriter and noticeWriter parameters are
ignored.


int result = Main.execute("myDocletClass",
    new java.io.PrintWriter(new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()),
    new java.io.PrintWriter(new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()),
    new java.io.PrintWriter(new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream()),
    "myDocletClassName","MyJavaFile.java");

should print:

Loading source file MyJavaFile.java...
Constructing Javadoc information...

to stdout, right?

The following programm shows the bug:

import java.io.*;
import com.sun.tools.javadoc.Main;

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) {

ByteArrayOutputStream redirectedOutput = new
ByteArrayOutputStream();
PrintStream originalOutput = System.out;
// redirect System.out to a buffer
System.setOut(new PrintStream(redirectedOutput));

// execute javadoc
int result = Main.execute(
"StandardDoclet",
new PrintWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream()),
new PrintWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream()),
new PrintWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream()),
"com.sun.tools.doclets.standard.Standard",
new String[] {"Test.java"}
);

// test whether javadoc did any output to System.out
if (redirectedOutput.toByteArray().length > 0) {
originalOutput.println("Bug still exists.");
} else {
originalOutput.println("Bug fixed.");
}
}
}

  To run the Test just compile it with javac and run it. The classpath must
contain the JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar file.
