Maven, javadoc : No source files for package

Question

I\'m writing a maven package with directory structure

frtex
   pom.xml
frtex/src/main/java/some-files.java
frtex/src/main/java/utils/some-other-files.java


        

Answer 1

The problem is not in your maven configuration.

You need to include a package-info.java for the utils package.

It is a file located at src/main/java/utils/package-info.java that will contain the javadoc for the package, in contrast to the javadoc for a class.

For more information about package-level javadocs, you can read the documentation.

Answer 2

This is a late response, but I just ran into the same issue.

The solution is you need to add the following to your plugin inside the configuration section

<configuration>
   <sourcepath>src/main/java</sourcepath>
   ...
</configuration>
