Description
See or link tags of the kind
{@link org.mypackage}doesn't work with maven-javadoc-plugin (we get a "Tag @link: reference not found: org.mypackage" warning), while it work when using the javadoc tool from the command line or from an Ant script. I suspect that this is related to the way maven-javadoc-plugin work, which provides a list of source files as a @files argument.
A possible workaround is to provide a way to use the maven-javadoc-plugin through the javadoc's -subpackages option, instead of letting maven-javadoc-plugin creates a @files. It would gives more control to the user, would allows the current <excludePackageNames> parameter to work (this parameter is currently useless since it is ignored when the files to process are provided in @files), and would solve the problem reported in this JIRA issue.
