MyEclipse 3.8.2.

When attempting to run xdoclet on a web project to generate the IBM WebSphere 5.1 descriptors, I get the following error message. I’ve tried updating xdoclet to 1.2.2 as referenced in other bugs (hibernate.cache) and note that someone else reported this earlier, but it seems to be closed – I’m still running into it in 3.8.2. Any ideas on how to workaround this issue – xdoclet doc. says that templateFile and destinationFile parameters shouldn’t be needed. I’ve no idea what the parameters should be in any event even if they are needed.

[webdoclet] C:\eclipse\workspace\MyTestProjectWeb\xdoclet-build.xml:28: webspherewebxml: ‘templateFile’ parameter missing. Specify both ‘destinationFile’ and ‘templateFile’ configuration parameters please.

Strange, seems like this doclet has been buggy (same bug) since 2002 and there was no resolution in this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/xdoclet-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03560.html

It looks like its an open bug against XDoclet:
