Felix Simmendinger commented on MJAVADOC-304:
---------------------------------------------
This bug is very nasty since you have to configure your release plugin to use
preparationGoals "clean install" otherwise thirdparty javadoc references will
fail the build as those dependencies aren't present in the classpath of javadoc.
> failOnError is ignored if javadoc:javadoc is called via Site Plugin 3.0-beta

> {{failOnError}} works for the case that javadoc:jar is executed. This
> invocation calls {{execute()}} and then {{generate(sink, locale)}}. The
> generate is surrounded with a try/catch-block catching any exception thrown
> by the javadoc generation. In case of {{failOnError==false}} the exception
> does not interrupt the build. That perfectly ok!
> {{failOnError}} does not work if it is called during site generation. During
> site generation only {{generate(sink, locale}} is called which misses the
> try/catch guard for failures during generation of javadoc.
> Effectively you cannot ignore failures during site generation.
