Steve Rowe commented on LUCENE-6257:
------------------------------------
Sonatype (the company that manages the Maven central repository) says that
javadocs and sources jars are required:
[http://central.sonatype.org/pages/requirements.html]. That page says that for
projects where javadocs or sources aren't available, empty javadocs jars may be
provided to meet the requirement.
We don't directly post maven artifacts to central, though: we go through the
ASF Nexus repository manager at repository.apache.org (see
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/PublishMavenArtifacts for details). Prior
to acceptance of a candidate release, the ASF repo mgr does a "quality check",
making sure metadata is present and consistent, required files are present,
etc. I suspect it will auto-reject a release without javadocs jars. I'll test
by posting a fake artifact bundle without a javadoc jar and see if it passes
the quality check.

> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Ryan Ernst
>
> In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts
> was to remove javadocs from the binary release. Anyone needing javadocs
> offline can download the source distribution and generate the javadocs.
> I also think we should investigate removing javadocs jars from maven. I did
> a quick test, and getting the source in intellij seemed sufficient to show
> javadocs. However, this test was far from scientific, so if someone knows
> for sure whether a separate javadocs jar is truly necessary, please say so.
> Regardless of the outcome of the two ideas above, we would continue building,
> validating and making the javadocs available online.
