[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1768?page=comments#action_53368 ]
Martin Desruisseaux commented on MNG-1768: ------------------------------------------ The way javadoc plugin currently work (passes the source file names) cause some trouble to us, because it prevent @see and @link tags to work with packages. For example if org.mypackage is a package, then @see org.mypackage is supposed to create a link to the package overview. This work well if the javadoc tool is used with the -subpackages parameters, but doesn't work when we pass the source file names. See MNG-1166 I would prefer if the javadoc plugin was using the -subpackages parameters instead of passing the source file names. It would fix both the -excludes issue and the @see org.mypackage issue. Or at least, the javadoc plugin should not pass the source filenames when the -subpackages parameter is used. Maybe the two approachs should be mutually exclusive. > excludePackageNames property doesn't work > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-1768 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1768 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: maven-javadoc-plugin > Reporter: David Jackman > Attachments: MNG-1768.patch > > > The Javadoc plugin passes the excludePackageNames as the -exclude parameter > for the execution of the Javadoc tool.
