Hello! I'd like to vote on this issue, but I still have a remaining problem and am not sure if it's because the plugin is broken due to the new module changes, or just because my project setup is slightly unusual.
See here: https://github.com/io7m/maven-javadoc-bug-20171118 The "c" module attempts to aggregate the javadoc of the other modules in the reactor into a single directory. It fails because the plugin attempts to load the module descriptors of the other projects, resulting in a "too many module descriptors" error. This is a simplified version of a real project here (all of my projects follow the same basic structure): https://github.com/io7m/jequality The javadoc of all of the modules is aggregated into a directory and combined with some other documentation into a .zip for deployment. I'd could use the "aggregate" goal, but that causes too many problems due to the way that the goal forks and re-runs previous goals bound to the compile phase. Apart from anything, in larger projects with lots of modules, re-running all of those goals takes unacceptably long. It's not clear to me if this is actually a problem with the current plugin, or just because I'm not supposed to do things this way. -- Mark Raynsford | http://www.io7m.com
