Description

Starting with version 3.1.0 it is no longer possible to use the aggregate-jar goal to create a javadoc jar for the entire project and attach it to the top pom.

Instead the following error is logged:

[INFO] <<< maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.0:aggregate-jar (aggregate-javadocs) < compile @ authservice <<<
[INFO] 
[INFO] 
[INFO] --- maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.0:aggregate-jar (aggregate-javadocs) @ authservice ---
[INFO] Not executing Javadoc as the project is not a Java classpath-capable package

The configuration for javadoc in the top POM, is:

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <show>private</show>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>attach-javadocs</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                    <execution>

                        <goals>
                            <goal>aggregate-jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                        <configuration>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
