Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-375: ----------------------------------------- I cannot reproduce it. However, I see a potential problem: you're explicitly settings {{M2_HOME}}. Please don't do that, the {{mvn}} executable already does that for you. > 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 - with no > dependencies - 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?) is dependent on HttpClient 3, and > your recent upgrade to use HttpClient 4 has caused this to break. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
