Running a few of my projects under Java 8, I found that the maven-javadoc-plugin won't accept <link> configuration items that work under Javadoc 6.
For example, I have this: <link>http://mvel.codehaus.org/javadoc/2.0</link> With Javadoc 8 installed, whatever the maven-javadoc-plugin is doing to feed this URL to javadoc isn't working and I get: [WARNING] javadoc: warning - Error fetching URL: http://mvel.codehaus.org/javadoc/2.0 This works fine using Javadoc 6. Is this a known issue, or should I file a bug? Best, Laird -- http://about.me/lairdnelson
