detectOfflineLinks sets off extra spurious executions of javadoc
----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MJAVADOC-284
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-284
             Project: Maven 2.x Javadoc Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.6.1
            Reporter: Benson Margulies


I have an aggregate project. In pluginManagement, I spec out javadoc:jar. In 
the leaf projects, I turn it on with an ordinary <plugin/> for the plugin.

If I leave detectOfflineLinks with its default value of true, the javadoc 
plugin uses the invoker plugin to relaunch itself, recursively, complaining 
that it hasn't been run on one or another of the projects. Note that, when this 
happens, it is 'swimming upstream' -- it is processing project A, it invokes 
itself on project B, where B depends on A, not the other way around.

If I run maven just in the leaf directories all is well. The trouble only 
happens when running maven from the aggregating parent.

Just to clarify, in case I don't get a test case together too soon ...

external/corporate parent:

javadoc only mentioned in the <reporting> section.

aggregating parent:

javadoc only mentioned in pluginManagement, setting up execution of javadoc:jar.

leaf:

A very plain 'plugin' element just to turn on the configuration from plugin 
management.

mvn run from leaf: all is well.

mvn run from aggregating parent: lots of extra 'invoker' invocations of javadoc 
on projects that have dependencies on the current project.
