---------------------------------------------------------------
Please tell me if this symptom is caused by the same problem. I have a simple
multi-module project with parent and a single child. Working in the parent, I
invoke the javadoc:aggregate version 3.1.1 feature like this
{noformat}
mvn -f . javadoc:aggregate{noformat}
I know this usage is a little silly, maven defaults to the current directory so
there's no need for the -f option. But it appears harmless.
Anyhhow, when invoked like this the full maven build runs and javadoc is
generated in the child module. But in the last step, where I expect the
aggregation to happen, the plugin shows that it has been invoked:
{noformat}
maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.1:aggregate{noformat}
But it shows no other output, does not print an error or warning, and it does
not copy the child module's javadoc files into parent/target/site/apidocs/
I tried to fall back to version 3.0.0 but that throws a null pointer exception
:( if there's another version I should try, let me know.
Our workaround is to invoke maven with an absolute path, essentially we do this:
{noformat}
mvn -f $(pwd) javadoc:aggregate{noformat}
and that works fine.
I can open a new issue if necessary.
Thanks in advance!

> Priority: Major
> Attachments: fix.zip
>
> Time Spent: 10m

> If an aggregator project has modules that are not located in sub folders and
> are referenced using relative pathes (e.g. "../project1") then the javadoc
> aggregate-jar does nothing.
> It does not fail but no javadoc is generated at all.
> This works with 3.0.1.
> See attached Zip File with three projects all, project1 and project2. Project
> all is the aggregator project. It references project 1 and project 2 with
> ../project1 and ../project2
