    Description

      When I generate Javadoc for a simple project with 3rd party dependencies, no configuration generates links for these dependencies. For valid Javadoc links which have a package-list, I get the following error:

      [WARNING] javadoc: warning - Error fetching URL

      Test Cases w/ results (sample project(s)) attached:

      1. No manual link configuration. 'detectLinks' is set to true.

      I expected that the plugin would fail to find javadoc to link for Selenium, Logback, Guava and TestNg, but to succeed in fetching Javadoc for SLF4Jj. The detected link for SLF4J is a valid javadoc link with a package-list located at the detected link:

      http://www.slf4j.org/apidocs/
      http://www.slf4j.org/apidocs/package-list

      However, there is a error fetching the URL and the resulting javadoc does not have links for SLF4J:

          log
          private static final org.slf4j.ext.XLogger log
          The logger for the AbstractLoadable class
      

      2. Manual link configuration for dependencies with javadoc that is not automatically detected with 'detectLinks' is set to true. No trailing slashes in manually configured links.

      The manually configured links are all valid javadoc links with package-list present at that location, but resulting javadoc does not link third-party doc for dependencies:

          The driver for browsing this AbstractLoadable

      Resulting javadoc does not link the javadoc for the 3rd party dependencies.

      Test Case 4: detectLinks= false + manually configured links without trailing slashes

      Result is the same. I won't post the pom and the output here because the sample project(s) are attached and the result is not different from the previous test cases. Errors are reporting for attempts to fetch all of the URLs.

      Test Case 5: detectLinks-false + manually configured links with trailing slashes.

      Result is the same.
