Bugzilla Bug 13476

using latest sun-jdk (1.4.1.01), xalan ebuild fails. however, ant and xerces
build fine. xerces and xalan would not build with blackdown jdk. I'm guessing
this is a xalan problem, but i'm submitting it here first.

This problem is addressed on ~ masked xalan, but im testing it, cause there are
some javadocs build flaws with any jdk > 1.3.

So there's currently no workaround? Rats.

Yes, if jdk is > 1.3 it doesnt build javadocs.

If jdk < 1.4 it builds the javadocs.

Thats the only workaround i was able to find on this.
