Why am I getting a ClassCastException when generating javadocs?

Question

I\'m using ant to generate javadocs, but get this exception over and over - why?

I\'m using JDK version 1.6.0_06.

[javadoc] java.lan

I got this problem too. I can compile properly without any errors or warnings. But when I generating javadoc , I got below error.

[javadoc] java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.tools.javadoc.ClassDocImpl cannot be cast to com.sun.javadoc.AnnotationTypeDoc

Here is my classpath loading for my third-party-libs ...

At my java compile target ..

And at my javadoc target...

So , I added classpathref="build.classpath" option to tag. Now It is fine for me.
