Benjamin Marwell commented on MJAVADOC-650:
-------------------------------------------
Hello [~evanward],
I did a quick check because this never failed for me and I found that the
{{javadoc}} binaries are usually located in the correct path:
{code:java}
user@host$:~/.jabba/jdk$ find . -name "javadoc"
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc
./[email protected]/bin/javadoc{code}
So maybe it is only the Debian distribution which relocates this binary? This
is usually not in the "jre" folder. If debian moves it, it must be a debian bug.

> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.2.0
> Reporter: Evan Ward
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi,
> Java 9 changed the directory structure of the JDK and JRE so [1] no longer
> finds the javadoc command. Debian has a patch to fix this at [2]. It's only a
> few lines. Please apply the patch or implement the capability to look for
> `./bin/javadoc` as well as `../bin/javadoc`.
> Thanks,
> Evan
