This bug has been fixed.  The standard doclet now does a "deep" recursive copy of everything in and below/under "doc-files".

For this to be enabled, it requires this option:

   -docfilessubdirs 

and if you need it, also this option:

   -excludedocfilessubdir <name1>:<name2>... 

to exclude any doc-files subdirectories with the given names.
This prevents the copying of SCCS and other source-code-control 
subdirectories.

Quote:

   ... it simply copies the directory and all its contents to the destination.

The bug is that if I have a file tutorial.html in doc-files and put gif files in
a subdirectory (very common) such as doc-files/images, then that directory is
never copied. The tutorial.html file is copied, but not the images needed.

Move all images out of the directory.

The following changes were made to fix this bug:

HtmlStandardWriter:

- Added constant to store the docs file directory name ("doc-files").
- Modified method "copyDocFiles" to recursively copy everything in and below/under "doc-files".

Javadoc should do a deep copy of the doc-files directory, recursively copying
*all* of its contents.  More than one developer has asked for this.
