Javadoc linking to split package

151 views Asked by At

When using the javadoc tool (Which I do through the Maven Javadoc Plugin, not with javadoc directly), there is the -link option to link to external sources. The problem now is that my project makes use of JSR-305 annotations, and I have configured the javadoc tool to link to the Java SE 8 APIs.

Both the Java SE 8 APIs and JSR-305 use javax.annotation, and so because javadoc can't really tell if javax.annotation.Nullable is from Java SE 8 or from JSR-305, it may generate a dead link to the Java SE 8 javadocs as opposed to a working link to the JSR-305 javadocs. Is there a way to configure javadoc to fix this, such that links to javax.annotation.Nullable is linked to JSR-305 javadocs and other things like javax.annotation.Resource is lined to the Java SE 8 API?
