**[Emeric MARTINEAU](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=bubulemaster)** commented In fact, if you read documentation of javadoc tool, you don't need build output dir. Javadoc tool works on source file. Annotation can be found in source or classpath (see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html#annotations). But I have already see "home" maven plugin to be generate ".class" file directly in build output dir (no source are generated). I think in this case, issue raise up. We are in tricky situation. If we want to be backward compliant, you can use my patch and change default value to false. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
