ant javadoc does not build

This is my first java project deploying ant. I have to submit my code soon and do not have time for Hello World sort of thing for Ant. I tried to make a build.xml for my project after doing a bit of google but now i am stuck!

The ant javadoc does not work for me. Below is the error it displays when given the command : ant javadoc -debug

Attempting to create object of type org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor
Adding reference: ant.executor

BUILD FAILED
Target "javadoc" does not exist in the project "Ant-Test".

the package under which i have created all my four classes 

package org.acrusys.customers;

and last but not the least below is the directory structure

Directory of C:\Users\Salman\JavaWorkspace\Arcusys\src\org\acrusys\customers

04/11/2012  06:55 PM    <DIR>          src

Here is the Javadoc (i forget to paste it initially)

<target name="docs" depends="compile">
<javadoc packagenames="org.acrusys.customers.*" sourcepath="${src.dir}"    destdir="${docs.dir}">
<!-- Define which files / directory should get included, we include all -->
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**" />
</fileset>
</javadoc>
</target>

This code is working for me. I am giving here only target you need to use this target.

<target name="docs" depends="compile">
    <javadoc packagenames="src" sourcepath="${src.dir}" destdir="${docs.dir}">
      <!-- Define which files / directory should get included, we include all -->
       <fileset dir="${src.dir}">
                <include name="**" />
           </fileset>
    </javadoc>
  </target>

After running this target you will get all documents into your doc folder.

Are you doing:

$ ant javadoc

or

$ ant docs

You're target name is docs and not javadoc. You should be doing the latter.

Javadoc is normally associated with documentation that you write into your code in the form of comments, and is automatically extracted out into HTML Files.

Try running: ant jar

The target you specified in your build file is "jar". This will not fix all of your problems, as I can't see your compile target. It also seems like your source code is in the wrong place (It should be located in the src directory, under the correct package structure), and the built .class files are also not ending up in the build directory.
