Fabrizio Cucci created MSHADE-245:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Add optional parameter "createJavadocJar"
Key: MSHADE-245
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-245
Project: Maven Shade Plugin
Issue Type: Wish
Affects Versions: 2.4.3
Reporter: Fabrizio Cucci
According to
[this|http://central.sonatype.org/pages/requirements.html#supply-javadoc-and-sources]
Sonatype OSS requirement:
bq. Projects with packaging other than pom have to supply JAR files that
contain Javadoc and sources. ... If, for some reason (for example, license
issue or it's a Scala project), you can not provide -sources.jar or
-javadoc.jar , please make fake -sources.jar or -javadoc.jar with simple README
inside to pass the checking.
When repackaging some dependency, it's fairly easy to create the -source.jar
artifact with the maven-shade-plugin through the *createSourcesJar* optional
parameter.
It would be nice to let the plugin also generate the -javadoc.jar through an
analogous optional parameter, e.g. *createJavadocJar*.
So far, I couldn't find an easy way to achieve the above (i.e. aggregate the
javadoc of all shaded dependencies) and I've opted for the workaround suggested
by the OSS requirement (i.e. fake -javadoc.jar) in order to deploy my artifact
on Maven Central.
Please find my solution
