I am using Intellij Idea and when I go tho generate the JavaDocs (via Tools -> Generate JavaDoc), I get thrown an IllegealArgumentException with no information about what is going wrong.
This occurs when testing with each individual file within my module even if there is no JavaDoc comments.
Here is an example of stack trace I am getting:

javadoc: error - java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
From what I can tell, it's not really telling me much about the actual error. Here is an example file that I have tried generating JavaDocs for:
package Network;
public class NetworkTags {
public static final String OPEN_TAG = "<";
public static final String CLOSE_TAG = "/>";
public static final String NET_OPEN_TAG = "<NET>";
public static final String NET_CLOSE_TAG = "</NET>";
public static final String VERTEX_TAG = "VERTEX";
public static final String EDGE_TAG = "EDGE";
public static final String REL_TAG = "REL";
public static final String TYPE_TAG = "TYPE";
public static final String COST_TAG = "COST";
public static final String NAME_TAG = "NAME";
public static final String SOURCE_TAG = "SOURCE";
public static final String TARGET_TAG = "TARGET";
public static final String FROM_TAG = "FROM";
public static final String TO_TAG = "TO";
}
Using Java 8 and IntelliJ IDEA 2016.1.1
I had the same problem. You shold remove CLASSPATH enviroment variable.
