Unable to get overview.html in javadoc using gradle

Question

Using the last gradle, I am trying to get a standard .html overview for display in javadocs for my project. I have not tried several different configuration methods. Here's the last one:

javadoc.ext["overview"] = "${projectDir}/src/main/java/overview.html"

No errors were reported, but review ads do not appear on the javadocs index page. I can get this to work by calling javadoc from the command line or IDE.

Thanks for the help. (I have checked gradle docs .)

Not sure how you came to this syntax. Starting with the DSL link for the Javadoc task, you should end up with the following address:

 javadoc { options.overview = "overview.html" // relative to source root } 

According to the docs for the Javadoc tool, this seems to be the default, but only appears if you have at least two packages.
