Hello people, I already asked on #d-devel and #d-java, but no-one replied. I guess because no-one knew the answer :)
Here's the issue: I'm updating apache-mime4j to a newer upstream version.
Before, the source shipped a precompiled (javadoc) apidocs, so I just installed
it into a libapache-mime4j-java-doc package.
Now, upstream stripped the precompiled apidocs from the tarball, and now
I'm in need of running "maven javadoc:javadoc". And here's the problem: maven
is looking for the just-compiled artifacts in /usr/share/maven-repo.
I tried pointing maven to debian/foo/usr/share/maven-repo (via a local
settings.xml), but then it misses some other artifacts it needs to run javadoc.
Then I tried adding the following line to the project's pom.xml, inside
maven-javadoc-plugin's <configuration>:
<localRepository>${basedir}/debian/libapache-mime4j-java/usr/share/maven-repo</localRepository>
but during compilation I obtain:
--->8---
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Failed to configure plugin parameters for:
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.6.1
(found static expression:
'/home/david/deb/git/my/apache-mime4j/debian/libapache-mime4j-java/usr/share/maven-repo'
which may act as a default value).
Cause: Cannot assign configuration entry 'localRepository' to 'interface
org.apache.maven.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepository' from
'/home/david/deb/git/my/apache-mime4j/debian/libapache-mime4j-java/usr/share/maven-repo',
which is of type class java.lang.String
---8<---
Now I've run out of ideas. The only idea remaining is manually running
javadoc(1).
Does some of the readers of this mailing list know how to handle this situation
in an elegant way, by configuring maven-javadoc-plugin?
Thanks in advance,
David
