I'm working with a set of eclipse-plugin projects using the Tycho plugins. We are trying to embed the javadocs in the plugin jar file, with an extension point so that the Javadocs show-up inline in the IDE. Since I need the javadoc to be generated prior to the package phase, I have configured the javadoc goal in the pluginManagement section of my parent POM, bound to the process-sources phase. This works fine when building the eclipse-plugin POM. But when I build from an aggregator POM, it fails with the error "No public or protected classes found to document." I can run the aggregate goal to get one giant apidocs index of all the projects, but that doesn't generate the per-project apidocs to embed in each project's jar file because the aggregate goal skips all the non-aggregator POMs. So shouldn't the non-aggregate "javadoc" goals quietly not fork and execute the javadoc executable when it's processing an aggregator POM within the reactor?
