             Summary: Remove javadocs from releases (except for publishing)
                 Key: LUCENE-6257
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6257
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ryan Ernst


In LUCENE-6247, one idea discussed to decrease the size of release artifacts 
was to remove javadocs from the binary release.  Anyone needing javadocs 
offline can download the source distribution and generate the javadocs.

I also think we should investigate removing javadocs jars from maven.  I did a 
quick test, and getting the source in intellij seemed sufficient to show 
javadocs.   However, this test was far from scientific, so if someone knows for 
sure whether a separate javadocs jar is truly necessary, please say so.

Regardless of the outcome of the two ideas above, we would continue building, 
validating and making the javadocs available online.
