Sadly, it doesn't go very far...

javadoc: error - In doclet class com.spirit21.Doclet, method start has thrown an exception java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Hello @dagnelies,

thanks for reporting.
The exception will be thrown when a method has no HTTP-annotation.
Can you plaese provide more information (for example a code snippet)?

[dagnelies]

I just let it run over my codebase. Since the error did not indicate anything more precise than this "NullPointerException" without more information, I do not know where or what in the code might have caused it. It's not a "hello world", it's actual code with many classes.

The only unusual thing that comes to my mind is an abstract class defining "request mappings" (i.e. /foo, /bar) without being a controller. The child classes of it are the controllers, with a class-level request mapping, resulting in /child/foo, /child/bar for example.

Thanks for your fast answer.
For the version 0.5 a better logging is planned. I hope to release the new version by the end of the week at the latest. After that you can try it again and hopefully we can fix your problem. 😃

Sorry, it takes a little bit longer. I have updated some dependency versions and some of them has changed a lot.
