Ah, the joys of the javadoc plugin invocation! The javadoc plugin invokes the javadoc tool in a separate task. In order to do this, the plugin creates a temporary file that includes all the options that are to be passed to the javadoc command and starts javadoc with just this config file. Of course, any options that apply to the javadoc invocation (that would be passed to javadoc with the -J option) end up in the config file, too, causing javadoc to complain. I'm afraid that you have to go with the workarounds posted here (increasing max heap for the mvn task). -dirk -- Anyway kids, have fun, play nicely, be good.
