Javadoc creation is giving errors

[yerra babji]

Hi,

I have added the following plugin in my pom.xml file's  build
configuration. When i execute the mvn package, Its getting failed during
javadoc creation and complaining like "import **** package does not exist"

<plugin>
     <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
     <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>2.8</version>
      <executions>
              <execution>
                     <phase>package</phase>
                     <goals><goal>jar</goal></goals>
                     <configuration>
                        <sourcepath>src/</sourcepath>
                     </configuration>
             </execution>
     </executions>
</plugin>

But after that if I run " mvn javadoc:jar " (without cleaning the target)
Its running fine and creating javadoc.

Could anyone please suggest me how to avoid this issue.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Regads,
Babji
