Cannot run program "javadoc.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified How do I set the path? Pavan Kumar Ranch Hand Posts: 78 posted 9 years ago Create Process Error=2 normally occurs when you don't have the specified process in path. This is one way of doing it in ant (haven't tested this) if you have a JAVA_HOME variable set, you could refer to the javadoc.exe as follows.
to comments All things being equal, I like projects that build out-of-the-box. That is, given a clean checkout from revision http://blog.darevay.com/2008/12/running-javadoc-ant-task-from-eclipse/ control, a project should just build without requiring too much customization: setting environment variables, installing third party software, modifying the system path. I'm especially sensitive to this at the moment because I've just finished up five days (actually maybe 30 hours all together) getting one particularly horrible system to build. Along these lines, I added a javadoc task to createprocess error=2 an Ant build script today and tried running it from Eclipse. Just for the record, that procedure is as follows: Open build.xml Right-click the task in the Outline View Select Run As->Ant build. Interestingly enough, this failed with the following error: build.xml:208: Javadoc failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "javadoc.exe": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified A quick cannot run program Google search reveals several suggestions that the solution is to make sure that javadoc.exe is on the system path. First, it's a little ridiculous that Ant can't find javadoc from JAVA_HOME when it clearly uses the same mechanism to track down javac. Oh well. Bygones. Second, returning to the idea of builds that "just work", I don't want to modify my system path. What if I have several JDKs installed, used with several different projects simultaneously? So, how do we get javadoc onto the system path without modifying it? Simple, modify the path in Eclipse. This time, run the Ant task with the following procedure: Open build.xml Right-click the task in the Outline View Select Run As->Ant Build … That elipsis at the end is important. This will bring up the Eclipse launch configuration dialog. Give your new launch configuration a name, like "Build
