Roberto Benedetti created MJAVADOC-527:
------------------------------------------
Summary: detectLinks may pass invalid urls to javadoc
Key: MJAVADOC-527
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-527
Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: javadoc
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: Windows 10
JDK 8
Maven 3.5.2
Reporter: Roberto Benedetti
The url of artifact com.sun.mail:mailapi:1.5.5 is
http://javamail.java.net/mailapi, so the plugin tests if
http://javamail.java.net/mailapi/apidocs/package-list is valid.
That url redirects to https://javaee.github.io/javamail/ which is JavaMail home
page, so the plugin thinks the url is valid and passes it to javadoc.
javadoc warns about wrong link.
Maybe checking if the effective url is still "package-list" would be safer.
