Carsten Ziegeler commented on MJAVADOC-227:
-------------------------------------------
Yes, we figured this out and it caused a lot of pain as this requires to add
all configs from all sub modules to the parent pom as well. Imagine a project
with > 100 modules all with different excludes - it's a nightmare :) That's why
I filed the bug and the other reason is that the current behaviour wasn't the
behaviour I expected.
I understand that there might be technical reasons, however, if the root
project already knows all its subprojects (in order to aggregate), why can't it
just aggregate the configs of the children first?

> Key: MJAVADOC-227
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-227
> Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
>
> We have a multi project setup where each module has a configuration for the
> javadocs for excluding packages.
> Building the javadocs for each project separately works fine.
> Starting the build from the root and building aggregated javadocs there,
> results in javadocs for all sources. The exclude package configurations of
> the individual poms are not considered.
> I've used "javadoc:javadoc" to build the docs and tried both, putting the
> config in the plugin section and the reporting section in each module.
> A workaround is of course to manually configure the javadoc plugin in the
> root pom and copy all excludes from the modules there; but that's a
> maintenance nightmare.
