[ANN] Apache Maven Javadoc Plugin 3.0.0-M1 Released

[Robert Scholte <rf...@apache.org>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache  
Maven Javadoc Plugin, version 3.0.0-M1

The Javadoc Plugin uses the Javadoc tool to generate javadocs for the  
specified project.

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0-M1</version>
</plugin>

You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page:

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/download.cgi

NOTE: this is a milestone release, because there are still some open  
issues which need to be fixed before the official 3.0.0, e.g. replace some  
deprecated parameters.
This release is mainly there to provide a Java9 compatible plugin  
(previous versions fail the build), even though not all Java 9 features  
are supported yet.
