Re: javadoc plugin and -link

[Sebastiaan van Erk]

Hi,




http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html

Ok, a google search finally made me find this page (the search was not related to linking): and it gave me the idea to try <links> with nested <link> elements, which worked. However, I cannot find a link to this mojo from the http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/index.html at all. Maybe I'm just blind, and it's really there, but it would be quite useful if it was under one of those four Introduction, Goals, Usage, Faq headers somewhere... :-/

However in the generated @options file there is no -link option to javadoc.

Anybody know how to include links?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I'm trying to link to sun's external api docs when generating my javadoc and have the following in my parent pom reporting plugin config:
