A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
a valid url like "* <a href='http://svg.tutorial.aptico.de/start2.php?knr=8&kname=Text&#39;>" is rejected by the java doc tool because of the ampersand "&". This happens (paradoxically) when the commandline option "-Xdoclint:-html" is given.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
invoke from the commandline
dir$javadoc -sourcepath . -d . -Xdoclint:-html Test.java
after putting the source file Test.java (given below) into this directory "dir"

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Create documentation without any warning.
ACTUAL -
Generating ./Test.html...
Test.java:1: warning: invalid input: '&kname'
  /** <a href='http://svg.tutorial.aptico.de/start2.php?knr=8&kname=Text&#39;>


---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
  /** <a href='http://x?knr=8&kname=Text&#39;> link text</a> */
