javadoc:aggregate reports missing packages




Hi,

I am trying to build an API documentation for some eclipse plugins. Therefore 
I’d like to run the Javadoc:aggregate goal

My configuration therefore is trivial:



        <build>

                <plugins>

                        <plugin>

                                <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>

                                <version>2.9.1</version>

                                <configuration>

                                        
<reportOutputDirectory>help/api</reportOutputDirectory>

                                        <destDir>api</destDir>

                                </configuration>

                        </plugin>

                </plugins>

        </build>



Now maven fails as it cannot resolve lots of eclipse dependencies like:



[ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.9.1:aggregate (default-cli) on 
project com.infineon.commontools.releng.jenkins: An error has occurred in

I get other errors for libs, where I only have a binary OSGI bundle available 
(which is part of the aggregator pom)

[ERROR] symbol:   class CoreException

[ERROR] location: class StringTools

[ERROR]

[ERROR] import org.antlr.v4.runtime.ParserRuleContext;

[ERROR] ^MG>put one of the antlr4-runtime jars on your

Generally I am happy with the created JavaDoc files. Is there a way to tell 
Javadoc to ignore missing dependencies or to tell maven not to fail here?

I know there are lots of similar questions asked out there, but I could not 
find a solution to my problem

Thanks

Christian
