Description
My taglet artifact has a dependency to commons-lang. But when executing the javadoc target the javadoc process complains with a ClassNotFoundException (in my case StringEscapeUtils but that doesn't matter).
Hmm - I had a look into the source and as far as I can see it the transitive dependencies are not resolved (only resolve is called and not resolveTransitively).
The workaround is to specify the transitive dependencies by hand taglet definitions without <tagletClass> elements:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <taglets> <taglet> <tagletClass>com.coremedia.drm.javadoc.api.ExampleTaglet</tagletClass> <tagletArtifact> <groupId>com.coremedia.drm.roapserver</groupId> <artifactId>build-utils</artifactId> <version>1.0.9-SNAPSHOT</version> </tagletArtifact> </taglet> <taglet> <tagletArtifact> <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> </tagletArtifact> </taglet> </taglets> </configuration> </plugin>
To reproduce remove the second <taglet> element and include an @api.example tag in one of your classes.
