Answer 1

I had similar issues and used the -verbose option. I had to add a ; to the front of the classpath option.

C:\Projects\HelloWorld\src>javah -verbose -classpath c:\projects\HellowWorld\build\classes helloworld.HelloWorld
error: cannot access helloworld.HelloWorld
class file for helloworld.HelloWorld not found
javadoc: error - Class helloworld.HelloWorld not found.

Error: No classes were specified on the command line.  Try -help.

Without the ;, this is the end of the search path: c:\jdk\jre\classes\c:\projects\HellowWorld\build\classes

I was able to get this far because of the examples above.
