The 'sources' goal (typo above?) says it's a "Goal that resolves the
project source dependencies from the repository" so I wouldn't expect
it to work for javadocs.  (Most likely it hard-codes the classifier to
get the -sources jar, which would explain the behavior you see.)  I
agree the docs are confusing, listing the classifier as something you
can set.

Either a new goal like dependency:javadoc might be in order, or try
one of the other goals and see if one of them will respect
-Dclassifier on the command line.
