Gili edited comment on MJAVADOC-645 at 3/24/20, 5:23 AM: --------------------------------------------------------- Turns out this had nothing to do with the sonatype parent POM. I fixed the problem by adding: {code:java} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifestEntries> <Automatic-Module-Name>module2</Automatic-Module-Name> </manifestEntries> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> {code} In other words, if an unnamed module depends upon a named module, then one must set the Automatic-Module-Name entry in the JAR manifest; otherwise, the javadoc tool will fail with the aforementioned error. This is extremely unintuitive. I only got it working because I had an old bug report I filed last year and I saw how I fixed this problem then. Can we please add a check to maven-javadoc-plugin for this situation and output an error message that will point users in the right direction? was (Author: cowwoc): Fixed by adding: {code:java} <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifestEntries> <Automatic-Module-Name>module2</Automatic-Module-Name> </manifestEntries> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> {code} In other words, if an unnamed module depends upon a named module, then one must set the Automatic-Module-Name entry in the JAR manifest; otherwise, the javadoc tool will fail with the aforementioned error.
