[MJAVADOC-783] Invalid path when using TagletArtifact and TagletPath

Description

I’m trying to use the Javadoc plugin with both a tagletartifact and a tagletpath but I get an InvliadPathException from the Javadoc goal.

I can see from the generated options file that there is no separator between the end of the artifact path and the taglet path.

I think the problem is that getTagletPath method of AbstractJavadocMojo should check for an existing path before adding the tagletpath. Something like:

        if (tagletpath != null && !tagletpath.isEmpty()) {

            if (path.length() > 0)

{                 path.append(File.pathSeparator);             }

            path.append(JavadocUtil.unifyPathSeparator(tagletpath));

        }

I looked at creating a pull request but I can’t work out how to create a suitable test. I found a taglet-test-plugin-config.xml, but not where it’s used.

Could someone familiar with this codebase possibly take a look at this problem please?

My configuration can be seen here: https://github.com/robjg/oj-parent/blob/d3e2328ca285516f1a4f6ee2bce94b44ba89b748/pom.xml#L304

I attempted to report this problem via '[e-mail]' however my mail did not make it.
