maven-javadoc-plugin

I'm using OpenJDK 11 on Windows 10. I have a very simple POM, for a single Java file, that generates Javadocs. Here is an extract: <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target> </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.1</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>jar</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> Strangely just

When a class overrides a concrete method or implements and abstract method, the Javadoc is automatically inherited unless explicitly overwritten. Or, at least the tool tries to do this. It seems it does not work for linked external APIs. For instance, when I in my code implement java.util.Map , or something else from the JRE, the javadocs are not inherited/copied from the JRE javadocs/apidocs. In my specific case, I am trying to configure this in the Maven2 Javadoc plugin, but it is the same when I run the javadoc CLI tool directly. My Maven2 Javadoc plugin configuration currently looks like

Summary: I've run into an interesting problem, and I'm not quite sure how to sleuth it: Our project has been building fine for months I changed the maven-compiler-plugin to use the eclipse compiler instead of javac Now when I run mvn site , maven-javadoc-plugin fails According to the stack trace, it appears the Javadoc tool is crashing on a class file created by the Eclipse compiler Is there any way to fix this? If not, is there at least any way to debug it further? Full details: I'm using Java 1.6.0_27 and Maven 3.0.2. I've been using the javac compiler to build our codebase, but I'm

I'm using the Maven Javadoc Plugin. It outputs warnings as follows: [ERROR] /home/monperrus/spoon/src/main/java/spoon/visitor/CtVisitor.java:144: warning: no @param for <T> How to display those warnings as [WARNING] (and not the confusing [ERROR] )? Gray How to display those warnings as [WARNING] (and not the confusing [ERROR])? How to completely disable Javadoc warnings in Maven? If you are talking about the javadoc lint warnings introduced in Java 8 then you should be able to do the following. There are multiple ways of specifying the parameters depending on which version of the javadoc

I'm attempting to create a basic maven site using the maven site plugin. So I added this to my pom: <reporting> <plugins> <!--JavaDoc setup--> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.7</version> <configuration> <defaultAuthor>Leon Blakey</defaultAuthor> <defaultVersion>${project.version}</defaultVersion> <links> <link>http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api</link> </links> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting> And ran mvn site --errors [INFO] Error stacktraces are turned on. [INFO] Scanning for projects...

I want to generate javadocs only for certain artifacts of my project from within a dedicated docs-project. That means that I would like to have an independent project called "docs" for example. In the docs/pom.xml I would like to define the artifacts that should be included in the generated javadocs. So far I learned that I have to generate a separate sources.jar for the projects I want to include. But I can't figure out how to go on from there. For now I can only imagine two approaches: Get the artifacts (sources.jar) I want to include, unpack them and somehow point the Javadoc plugin to the

I am using JDK8 (tried it on my Eclipse workspace with Win x64 u25 JDK + on Linux launched by Jenkins - jdk-8u20-linux-x64, same problem for both). I have multi-module Maven project (I am launching Maven goal "javadoc:aggregate" from a main module with packaging type "pom"). Pom build section looks like this: <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin<
