Building JAXB from CVS

One interesting thing I've observed from building jaxb 2.0 is that if I set
up a project in Netbeans (4.1.x) or IntelliJ (5.0.x) or just build it
directly via Ant, the source code compiles just fine. But if I set up a
project in Eclipse (3.1.2), a lot of source codes with Java5 generics
constructs are marked as errors by the IDE! (Example:
ElementInfoImpl.javaunder package
com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.impl)

This seems to indicate that as jar as Java generics goes Eclipse is not
quite up to the task yet :(

One annoyance I've found regardless of whether I am using Ant (1.6.5)
directly from the command line, or Netbeans, IntelliJ or Eclipse, "ant dist"
always failed unless I comment out the "javadoc" target in
runtime/build.xml. Otherwise, it always failed with something like:

C:\Playground\workspace\3.1.1\jaxb2-sources\jaxb-ri\runtime\build.xml:207:
Javadoc failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess:
C:\Software\jdk\1.5.0\06\bin\javadoc.exe -quiet -d

Any idea ?
