Javadoc problem. To long...

Question

Hi
My problems with javadoc in steps.
1. The commandline becomes to long. (I use a bat-file in dos)
2. Can't get the packages "listings" to work. My structure are like this.
the source-files are located at:
d:\architechture\latest\source\se\company\product\and in this catalog there are a few subcategories where the sourcecode are (.java files).
The classfiles (jar-files) for the project are located at:
d:\architechture\latest\deliverables\and a few .jar files.
Question: How should I write the command to be able to javadoc the files?
And exactly where should I stand to be able to use the package structure whitch is "se.company.product.XXX" in the source-files.
3. Extra information.
I want to generate the javadoc as dynamic as possible, with few direct fileconnections. I want to just do the linkage to catalogs where the files are located.
NB
How do I make this to work without trouble with the lengt of the command and so on.
Thanks

Use a Java program and a properties file.
You can call Javadoc's main method:
com.sun.tools.javadoc.Main.main(String[]);
(may vary with VM versions)
See java.util.Properties aswell - you can load a simple key-based file (like an ini) using the load(InputStream) command.
myapp.properties:
#comment
#example properties file
NUMARGS=3
ARG1=aaaaaa
ARG2=bbbbbb
ARG3=ccccccode:
Properties args = new Properties();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myapp.properties);
args.load(fis);
fis.close();
String strnum = args.getProperty("NUMARGS");
int num = new Integer(strnum).intValue();
String[] strarr = new String[num];
for(int i=0; i<num; i++)
     strarr[i] = args.getProperty("ARG"+i);
com.sun.tools.javadoc.Main.main(strarr);
