Roberto Benedetti updated MJAVADOC-527:
---------------------------------------
Description:
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 invalid link.
Maybe checking if the effective url is still "package-list" would be safer.
