<javadoc> and <javadoc2>

First of all, note that the <Javadoc2> task is deprecated. The <javadoc> task enables you to run Javadoc on a set of source files. There are numerous attributes (see Table 4.46), but the attributes that are supported are dependent on which JDK you’re running Ant with. For a more verbose description of some of these attributes, see the Javadoc home page at http://java.sun.com/j2se/javadoc/.

destdir (unless a doclet is specified) The destination directory for the Javadoc output.
