Getting ant error when generating javadoc: No source files and no packages have been specified.

Hi Experts,

i am trying to generate javadocs using ant tag <javadoc> Each time i run my script i am getting Error: No source files and no packages have been specified.
Here is the snippet from my script:

<target name="javadoc" description="Generate API docs for the DocCheck source">
<mkdir dir = "${dist.home}/docs/api" />
<javadoc defaultexcludes="yes" use="yes" header="DocCheck 1.2 Beta 2" doctitle="DocCheck - Comment Checking Doclet"
nodeprecatedlist="yes" sourcepath="${src.home}" destdir="${dist.home}/docs/api" packagenames="com.hibernate.project" author="true"
                   version="true"
                   windowtitle="Hibernate web project">
            <classpath refid="compile.classpath"/>
</javadoc>
</target>

Please suggest.

<target name="javadoc" description="Generate API docs for the DocCheck source">
      <mkdir  dir = "${dist.home}/docs/api" />
      <javadoc defaultexcludes="yes"  use="yes" header="DocCheck 1.2 Beta 2" doctitle="DocCheck - Comment Checking Doclet"
          nodeprecatedlist="yes"  sourcepath="${src.home}" destdir="${dist.home}/docs/api" packagenames="com.hibernate.project" author="true"
			           version="true"
			           windowtitle="Hibernate web project">
		<classpath refid="compile.classpath"/>
    </javadoc>
