Allow creation of aggregated javadocs source bundles from project dependencies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MJAVADOC-280
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-280
Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.6.1
Reporter: John Casey
It would be nice to have the ability to generate an aggregated javadoc set for
a distribution project by resolving the -sources and -test-sources bundles of
its dependencies (or, correspondingly, the project.compileSourceRoots and
project.testCompileSourceRoots for modules in the same reactor).
Initially, this might just mean downloading, unpacking, and adding the
dependency sources as sourcepaths to the javadoc execution if a flag is set to
true (includeDependencySources). Later, we could easily expand this to allow
bundling and deployment of the src/main/javadoc directory so that this artifact
can be used in the above aggregation approach.
I've got an implementation of the first part that I will attach to this issue
as a patch to illustrate what I'm talking about.
