There's a new version of javadoc plugin available - 3.0.1 This plugin update fixes occasional issues with building javadoc. Sometimes when there's a problem in javadoc current 3.0.0 might give something like:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.0.0:javadoc (aggregate-javadoc) on project hibernate-validator-distribution: Execution aggregate-javadoc of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.0.0:javadoc failed.: NullPointerException -> [Help 1]
from which it is hard to tell what exactly causes the problem. also there are a few minor javadoc errors that can be fixed as well. |
