John Fox commented on MJAVADOC-527:
-----------------------------------
I ran into an issue which I believe is similar to the one described here for
jaxb-api when updating to use JDK10. The maven-javadoc-plugin failed to
generate javadoc with the below error. I wanted to explicitly add
jaxb-api-2.2.3 as a dependency so that even when the java.xml.bind module is
removed in JDK11 the project would continue to resolve the JAXB libraries.
Pulling in the above snapshot resolves this issue as well.

> Key: MJAVADOC-527
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-527
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: javadoc
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Environment: Windows 10
> JDK 8
> Maven 3.5.2
> Reporter: Roberto Benedetti
> Priority: Major
> Labels: detectLinks
>
> The url of artifact com.sun.mail:mailapi:1.5.5 is
> [http://javamail.java.net/mailapi], so the plugin tests if
> [http://javamail.java.net/mailapi/apidocs/package-list] is valid.
> That url redirects to [https://javaee.github.io/javamail/] which is JavaMail
> home page, so the plugin thinks the url is valid and passes it to javadoc.
> javadoc warns about invalid link.
> Maybe checking if the effective url is still "package-list" would be safer.
