Description

clone this repo: https://github.com/hgschmie/javadoc-bug

run "mvn clean install"

expected outcome: builds a project, generates a javadoc jar

observed outcome:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.5.0:jar (basepom.default) on project javadoc-bug: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc:
[ERROR] Exit code: 1
[ERROR] /Users/henning/oss/bugs/javadoc/src/main/java/maven/bugs/internal/InternalImportBindingBuilder.java:7: error: cannot access Provider
[ERROR]     static final class InternalBindingProvider<T> implements Provider<T> {
[ERROR]                  ^
[ERROR]   class file for javax.inject.Provider not found
[ERROR] 1 error
[ERROR] Command line was: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-17.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javadoc -J-Xmx1024m @options @packages

 Setting the release to "8" works (but loses the module information)
