Hi

I've got a problem with getting @see to see an abstract class in another
package. In the Javadoc I'm writing, I have:

     * @see com.opmath.util.html.Countries

This results in the message:

    javadoc: warning - Tag @see: Class or Package not found:
com.opmath.util.html.Countries

The strange thing is that if I have an alternative link:

     * @see com.opmath.util.html.Select

Everything works fine. The classes 'Countries' and 'Select' are in the same
package, in the same JAR file (on my javadoc classpath), and their online
javadocs are at the same place:

http://www.opmath.com/components/utilities/1.3/docs/api/com/opmath/util/html
/package-summary.html

The only difference I can see is that 'Countries' is abstract, and 'Select'
isn't. Incidentally, if I use the alternative javadoc @see form:

     * @see <a
href="http://www.opmath.com/components/utilities/1.3/docs/api/com/opmath/uti
l/html/Countries.html">com.opmath.util.html.Countries</a>

This works okay.

What's up?

    Bruno.
