> The url of artifact com.sun.mail:mailapi:1.5.5 is [http://javamail.java.net/mailapi], so the plugin tests if [http://javamail.java.net/mailapi/apidocs/package-list] is valid.
>  That url redirects to [https://javaee.github.io/javamail/] which is JavaMail home page, so the plugin thinks the url is valid and passes it to javadoc.
>  javadoc warns about invalid link.
> Maybe checking if the effective url is still "package-list" would be safer.
