Hi Peter,

Verify that you defined the correct javadoc plugin version in your poms.
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/plugin-info.html

You could also run
mvn help:effective-pom

Cheers,

Unfortunately, 2.5 doesn't work for me.

Eventhough I can find it when I manually browse the Central Repo,
my Maven 2 version can't find it. I assume that someone forgot to update
those additional xml files telling with versions are hosted by the server. I
manually downloaded the javadoc 2.5 jar, but then Maven complains about a
Plexus version missing, and so on...
