Github user rvesse commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/jena/pull/474 @afs For some projects where I have added JDK 9/10 support I have had to create separate profiles activated by JDK version for the Javadoc plugin because there are breaking changes between the plugin versions and supported flags for the underlying `javadoc` tool Also if you have updated the Javadoc plugin version to a 3.x release then you need to add an `<option>` sub-element within `<additionalOptions>` rather than just specifying the options directly
