compilation areas being ignored? (beaninfo, I think).

Which is a bit weird. I wonder if this due to javadoc or the beaninfo 
doclet? The latter has a couple of
catch (FooException e) {
// fail silently
}
which might or might not be the cause of this.

... unless javadoc can compile these using implicit compilation..? Could 
that be possible to arrange using proper command lines?
