Error creating Javadoc, Could not launch Javadoc command

Question

Friends, I do not succeed to create Javadocs for my Android project.

What I do:

Project - Create Javadoc
Enter in the following parameters into the popped up window for "Javadoc command:" C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-10\android.jar because my project is set to API 10.
I choose one class out of a package that ends with .java
enter for the parameter "use standart doclet Destination:" C:\Users\MR WULF\Desktop what i assume means just save the ready document on the desktop

the error that it shows after hiting the "Finish button" :

Could not launch Javadoc command Reason: cannot run program: C:\Android\android-sdk\platforms\android-10\android.jar Create process error=193, %1 is not a valid WIN-32 function

Would be glad about any support.

Hey Rob, I use Eclipse, should have mentioned that...

You're setting the android.jar as the command to run, which doesn't work and causes the error you've described. "Javadoc command" expects a path to the javadoc binary, for example

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin\javadoc.exe

With that, it should do what you expect ;)
