>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-431
>             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.10.3
>            Reporter: Peter lynch
>            Assignee: Michael Osipov
>             Fix For: 2.10.4

>
> The javadoc:jar mojo explicitly prevents the Maven descriptor from being added to the produced javadoc.jar file.
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-javadoc-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/javadoc/JavadocJar.java#L299-299
> I could not find an explanation or technical reason why this is done.
> Adding the maven descriptor to the javadoc jar can help expose valuable information about the build that produced it and should be at the discretion of the build process.
> Expected:
> - allow the archiver used to create the javadoc jar to respect the plexus archiver configuration if it is configured to include the Maven descriptor.
> - preserve the default behaviour of not including the Maven descriptor, for (unknown) backwards compatibility reasons only
