Summary: Required class missing: org/apache/http/HttpRequest Key: MJAVADOC-375 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-375 Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.9.1 Reporter: Ollie Robertshaw Priority: Blocker Attachments: Test.zip, tmp I cannot run Javadoc plugin 2.9.1 against _any_ Maven project. It fails with the following error: {{Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.9.1:javadoc \(default-cli\) on project Test: Execution default-cli of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.9.1:javadoc failed: A required class was missing while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.9.1:javadoc: org/apache/http/HttpRequest}} Attached is a full Maven debug output, and an empty Maven project that the goal {{mvn javadoc:javadoc}} and {{mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.9.1:javadoc}} both fail against (though {{mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.8.1:javadoc}} succeeds). This looks to me like something (Plexus?) was built against HttpClient 3, and your recent upgrade to use HttpClient 4 has caused this to break. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
