> Setting nooverview option always causes a build failure
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MJAVADOC-590
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-590
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: javadoc
> Reporter: Benedikt Ritter
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.3.0
>
>
> *Problem:*
> The nooverview option is not usable, since it will alway clash with the
> overview option. This is because overview has a default value set to
> ${basedir}/src/main/javadoc/overview.html, so the file object representing
> overview will always be created. It is not possible to not set it to null.
> FOr this reason the check in validateStandardDocletOptions will always throw
> an exception.
> *Possible Solution:*
> The check
> {{( getOverview() != null ) && nooverview}}
> should be changed to
> {{getOverview() != null && getOverview().exists() && nooverview}}
