[Helma-user] Problems (string index out of range) when generating HelmaDoc

[Anton Pirker]

Hi List!

I'm trying to generate the Helma Doc for an app of mine.
The first time i hit the "renderAPI" and whenever i hit the "showApi" 
link in manage i get a lot of exceptions in my logfile like this one:

113172 [TX-manage] ERROR helma.myapp.event  - Couldn't parse file

In the webbrowser i get the following:
rendering API ...
wrote 1186 files

so, no error messages here.

the apidoc is somehow generated, but it seems that nearly no macros, 
skins or actions are included. i have all the skins and type.properties 
in the apidoc but nothing about the actual code.
has anyone else this problem? is this some helma-issue or is it a 
problem with my application?

thanks for every hint,
Anton
