Greetings I have this error and I have tried everything and I don't know how to solve it, I try to generate the xml of this library, but I can't , it already generates the jar, but I can't with the xml, thanks

javac: invalid flag: -doclet
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

Use SLC and let SLC use the doclet.
I never created a library with eclipse (so ißm not of much help). And also never used any doclet in eclipse.

I always use SLC to compile my b4x libs.

The present doclet will only work with Java version 8. It produces bad xml on later versions. Erel is rewriting it but it is not here yet.

Latest BADoclet is in the SLC zip. The Android SDK SLC uses is taken from the IDE javac.exe path.

[Tool] Simple Library Compiler - Build libraries without Eclipse

The purpose of Simple Library Compiler (SLC) is to make it easier to build libraries. SLC is responsible for taking the Java source code files and generating the Jar and XML files. As I see it, it can be useful in two cases: - Creating wrappers for 3rd party SDKs. - Modifying and extending...
