ryenus commented on MJAVADOC-376:
---------------------------------
Right, such change would break backward compatibility, making it a simple thing
but hard to make :-(
For my project I initial wrote it for java 7 and use new language features like
diamond operator, multi-catch, try with resource, then I had to backport it to
java 6 because not everyone can immediately upgrade to java 7. Therefore the
source code must be changed by removing all those java 7 only stuff. Oh,
there's all some some NIO classes new in java 7, like the Path class etc I had
to remove as well.
> please add property 'maven.javadoc.classifier'

> Key: MJAVADOC-376
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MJAVADOC-376
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: ryenus
> Assignee: Olivier Lamy
> Fix For: 2.9.2

>
> We need an easier way to customize the name of the generated javadoc jar file.
> * For maven-jar-plugin, there's a {{classifier}} attribute.
> * For maven-source-plugin, it's even better, there's a
> {{maven.source.classifier}} property
> But for maven-javadoc-plugin, there's no chance to customize, the classifier
> is hardcoded to "javadoc", making it very hard to customize the file name of
> the generated javadoc jar, which is needed when a classifier is needed to
> differentiate an artifact for multiple jdk vesions.
> By adding support for the {{maven.javadoc.classifier}} property, it would be
> much more straightforward and consistent.
> Thanks
