Karl Heinz Marbaise updated MJAVADOC-431:
-----------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.10.4
> 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
> Fix For: 2.10.4
>
>
> 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
