Hi Owee,
I am also a newbie to XDoclet. I do not know what is the exact cause of your problem. I think by sharing my experience in extending XDoclet will help. First of all, I have no problem with JDK 1.4.2_02/03 in building XDoclet.
Next, I am using
ANT to build XDoclet. Suppose you are working on the
EJB module. Go to the C:\xdoclet-1.2src\modules\ejb and type "ant clean", then type ant to rebuild just the module. The updated ejb modules will be in C:\xdoclet-1.2src\target\lib. In your Ant build file for whatever project you are using Xdoclet, reference to the newly built xdoclet-ejb-module-1.2.jar.
If I am not wrong, you do not need to update the xdoclet.xml and xtags.xml. In your source code, you use Xdoclet tags to specify these. When you run the Xdoclet build, the task, subtask and tags will be automatically generated. That is the beauty of XDoclet itself. They said the Xdoclet people eat their own dog food.
Hope this help.
Best Regards
