Hello,
We're running into javadoc issues during the release:perform goal of the
maven-release-plugin. The current setup we have is to do a clean install during
the release:prepare and then a deploy during the release:perform.
The release:prepare works fine but we get a javadoc NullPointerException during
the release:perform on one of the modules (stack trace included below). We get
this when running the build with both JDK 1.5 and 1.6. This error is
reproducible on both linux and windows.
I don't need to run javadoc for this module. I've tried adding the following to
the module's pom to attempt to skip javadoc generation, but I still get the
error:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I've also tried adding the useReleaseProfile=false flag to the release:perform
goal, but that yielded the same results.
Normal builds (i.e. clean install) without the release plugin work fine.
Anyone ideas what might be causing the problem (why it works everywhere other
than within the release:perform goal).
Thanks,
-Mike
