Managing offline links across a multi-module project with javadoc

[Benson Margulies <bi...@gmail.com>]

I just tried to configure some offline links in pluginManagement. I
find that this doesn't not seem to be possible, since the pathnames
are interpreted relative to each module. Has anyone else come up with
a solution to this?

Hi Benson,

This sounds like one of several situations where it is helpful to have a
property pointing to your multi-module project root.

See:
* http://stackoverflow.com/q/3084629/1207769
* http://stackoverflow.com/q/4146638/1207769

In short, you could try one of:
* ${session.executionRootDirectory}
* directory:execution-root goal (via https://github.com/jdcasey/
directory-maven-plugin)
* scijava:set-rootdir goal (via https://github.com/scijava/
scijava-maven-plugin)

Regards,
Curtis
