You need to tell as2api which packages are being documented, either by
naming the packages explicitly:

  com.example.foo

or by giving the prefix shared by all packages to be documented:

  com.example.*


So, you'll need to add something like this to the <exec>:

  <arg line='com.example.*'/>


[I was working on an HTML version of the documentation when my laptop
died a few days back.  Here's the relevant section:

  http://www.badgers-in-foil.co.uk/projects/as2api/as2api-documentation.html#options

Note that this documents some options which were not yet implemented in
the last (0.3) release.]


hope that helps,
