Description

Given:

<offlineLinks>
  <offlineLink>
    <url>https://cowwoc.github.io/requirements.java/${project.version}/docs/api/</url>
    <location>${rootBaseDir}/java/target/apidocs/</location>
  </offlineLink>
</offlineLinks>

 
 
Running the "attach-javadocs" goal works fine in version 3.8.0 but if I update to version 3.10.0 the execution fails with:
 
 

[ERROR] The given File link: C:\Users\Gili\Documents\requirements.java\guava\..\java\target\apidocs is not a dir.
[ERROR] Error fetching link: C:\Users\Gili\Documents\requirements.java\guava/../java/target/apidocs/. Ignored it.  

 
Under version 3.8.0 the target/apidocs directory is created and the javadoc is generated. Under version 3.10.0 the error is thrown and the apidocs directory is never created.
