------------------------------------
Summary: allow javadoc jar to contain Maven descriptor
Key: MJAVADOC-431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-431
Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.10.3
Reporter: Peter lynch
The javadoc:jar mojo explicitly prevents the Maven descriptor from being added
to the produced javadoc.jar file.
https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-javadoc-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/javadoc/JavadocJar.java#L299-299
I could not find an explanation or technical reason why this is done.
Adding the maven descriptor to the javadoc jar can help expose valuable
information about the build that produced it and should be at the discretion of
the build process.
Expected:
- allow the archiver used to create the javadoc jar to respect the plexus
archiver configuration if it is configured to include the Maven descriptor.
- preserve the default behaviour of not including the Maven descriptor, for
(unknown) backwards compatibility reasons only
