Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-329: ----------------------------------------- [https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4492654] Marked as {{Won't Fix}} > Allow generation of empty javadoc JARs > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MJAVADOC-329 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-329 > Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.8 > Reporter: Vincent Massol > Assignee: Robert Scholte > Priority: Major > > Here's my use case: > * I want to be able to deploy my artifacts to Maven Central. There's a > requirement that a javadoc jar exists for the arifact to deploy > * However I have some maven modules of type packaging = jar that have java > files but these files are located in an "internal" package (internal api that > we don't expose to end users since it's not part of our public API contract) > which we exclude from the javadoc generation > The problem is that the javadoc plugin doesn't generate any JAR if there are > no java files matching (even if I have other files such as a package.html > file in my src/main/javadoc/* directories). > I'd like it to be possible to generate an "empty" javadoc JAR containing only > a package.html file for example. > Thanks a lot -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
