[as2api-dev] Re: multiple classpaths using Ant

[Jim Kremens]

Actually, everything seems to be working pretty well.  It was failing
to document my .com package, and i blamed it on as2api.  I didin't
write the classes in my .com package, and they are kind of dodgy, so
I'm guessing that as2api doesn't like something in one of the files in
there...  Would you like me to pass them along for testing?

That said, it's now doing a wonderful job of documenting my stuff. 
Here's my revised Ant task, which allows you to pass in multiple
packages using package-spec.  I hadn't read that part of the
documentation carefully enough...

	<target name="document">
		<exec executable="${as2api}" failonerror="false">
			<arg line='package-spec org.* package-spec unit.*' />
			<arg line='--classpath "${dist}" --classpath "${macromedia_classes}"' />
			<arg line='--output-dir "${docs}"' />
			<arg line='--sources' />
			<arg line='--draw-diagrams --dot-exe "${graphviz}"' />
		</exec>
		<delete file="${docs}/style.css" />
		<copy file="../utilities/style.css" todir="${docs}" />
	</target>

I think the program is getting pretty solid... Nice work.

Jim
