The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Felipe Leme Created: Tue, 24 Aug 2004 8:45 AM Body: Yes, it will.
But I think it's better then getting an exception. Anyway, the current behavior is not consistent, as javadoc:generate works. So we either change javadoc:jar to work too or change javadoc:generate to fail as well. Another option would be enclosing the javadoc:install (and others) tags into a <util:available> tag. That way the jar won't be created and the goal won't fail. Anyway, it's just a matter of style (I, for instance, prefer a empty jar than nothing at all). So, whatever we decide, I can create a patch.
