Description
In a module, which defines an Automatic-Module-Name and (inherits) maven.compiler.release=8, but does not set source=8, javadoc generation fails with:
16052 [ERROR] Exit code: 2 - error: option --module-path not allowed with target 8 16052 [ERROR] error: option --add-modules not allowed with target 8 16052 [ERROR] error: option --patch-module not allowed with target 8 16053 [ERROR] 16053 [ERROR] Command line was: /home/nite/jdk-12/bin/javadoc @options @packages
This occurs with both javadoc-11.0.2 and javadoc-12. Using either maven-javadoc-plugin-3.0.1, defining source=8 or removing Automatic-Module-Name works just fine.
I think the problem is that maven.compiler.release is propagated to release property, but that is not taken into account when --add-modules is generated and propagated.
