Description

Link "View Javadoc" created for package access level classes.

This creates many "404 Not Found" on webserver and hides the real problems on website...

Since maven-javadoc-plugin have it configurable: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html#show

Would be nice to have this as configuration in maven-jxr-plugin. linkJavadocShow or linkJavadocAccessLevel

As well linkJavadocExcludePackageNames may be easy to add for complete compatibility with javadoc-plugin excludePackageNames

Alternative would be to verify if target file exists in directory ${javadocDir}

Issue Links

• is duplicated by: JXR-12 Allow filtering of links to javadocs
• is related to: JXR-76 Add excludePackageNames configuration option (cf. maven-javadoc-plugin)
