Re: Pull javadoc from maven repository?

[Steve Vestal <st...@adventiumlabs.com>]

Thanks, this helped me understand my problem.  The Maven Dependencies
are linked back to sources and javadocs in the m2 repository as you
pointed out.  My problem was doing this in a plugin project, where the
only way I found to export Jena APIs for use by other plugins was to do
a dependency:copy-dependencies into the plugin itself.

I suspect apache-jena-osgi might be the proper way to go eventually, but
for now I can manually set links for the APIs I'm using.
