None of the above options seemed to work for me when using version 3.2.0. Instead I noticed the failOnError option. Setting this tags value to false seemed to do the trick for allowing my build to succeed even when there were javadoc errors.

        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-javadoc-plugin
            ${maven.javadoc.plugin.version}
            
                
                    attach-javadocs
                    
                        jar
                    
                
            
            
                false
            
        

This will stop the javadoc jar from being generated for the maven project. This was okay in my case as I was only wanting to build without errors during ongoing development. The other options may still allow for the javadoc jar to be generated when there are errors.
