Description

Starting with version 3.1.0 the javadoc:aggregate-jar goal no longer create a in a multi module project when it is executed as a build plugin. It just logs the following message:

 

[INFO] <<< maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.0:aggregate-jar (default-cli) < compile @ mjavadoc-599 <<<
[INFO]
[INFO]
[INFO] — maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.0:aggregate-jar (default-cli) @ mjavadoc-599 ---
[INFO] Not executing Javadoc as the project is not a Java classpath-capable package

 

This can be reproduced with the attached project:

• The root pom.xml declares maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.0 to be used
• Run javadoc:aggregate-jar
• No jar is created in the target directory of the root project
• Downgrade to maven-javadoc-plugin:3.0.1
• Run javadoc:aggregate-jar
• Version 3.0.1 creates a javadoc jar in the target directory of the root project
