{{}}where no non-internal classes exist, therefore no public Javadoc is
required, yet Maven Central requires inclusion of a Javadoc JAR during
deployment.
This now simplifies to

> Allow generation of empty javadoc JARs
> --------------------------------------

> Key: MJAVADOC-329
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-329
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.8
> Reporter: Vincent Massol
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
>
> Here's my use case:
> * I want to be able to deploy my artifacts to Maven Central. There's a
> requirement that a javadoc jar exists for the arifact to deploy
> * However I have some maven modules of type packaging = jar that have java
> files but these files are located in an "internal" package (internal api that
> we don't expose to end users since it's not part of our public API contract)
> which we exclude from the javadoc generation
> The problem is that the javadoc plugin doesn't generate any JAR if there are
> no java files matching (even if I have other files such as a package.html
> file in my src/main/javadoc/* directories).
> I'd like it to be possible to generate an "empty" javadoc JAR containing only
> a package.html file for example.
> Thanks a lot
