-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Robert Scholte

Giving such a resources dependency the scope {{runtime}} should be sufficient to fix this issue. It will actually have better effects for other plugins too.

> I have a multi-module project which builds a couple of JARs and then distributed them into two WARs.
> However, one of the JARs does not contain any Java code at all, merely (maven-filtered) resources. This leads to warnings during the build like these: 
> {noformat}[…]
>  [INFO] — maven-javadoc-plugin:2.8:jar (attach-javadocs) @ foo-services —
>  [INFO] The goal 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.8:javadoc' has not been previously called for the module: 'de.tarent.foo:foo-rsrcs:jar:1.3.900-SNAPSHOT'. Trying to invoke it...

>  I found how I can exclude javadoc stuff by package, but not by artifact.
> The plugin is currently included ONLY in the parent POM, like this:
> {code:xml} 
> <plugin>
>   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
>   <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
>   <version>2.8</version>
>   <executions>
>     <execution>
>       <id>attach-javadocs</id>
>       <goals>
>         <goal>jar</goal>
>       </goals>
>     </execution>
>   </executions>
> </plugin>
> {code}
>  While it _is_ run during “compilation” of the resources-only JAR, it (obviously) produces no result, thus the warning (as it’s not excluded either).
> How can I either make it produce something (i.e. the ability to create a valid-looking yet contentless FOO-javadoc.jar that satisfies references by reverse dependencies, in a JAR not containing any Java™ code) or, probably preferably, exclude the {{foo-rsrcs}} module from being accessed by mjavadoc on modules depending on it?
