I guess that the same issue already reported as Regression with maven-javadoc-plugin 2.6.1 and release:perform.

This is in particular problematic as not even "mvn install" makes it work.

I had a similar issue, while running: mvn site.
After explicitly running: mvn javadoc:javadoc, this issue didn't occur any more.

This is happening for us only during release:perform - is there any workaround? It's confusing why the javadoc for one project gets invoked from another project.

I believe I was having this issue with version 2.6.1/Maven 2.2.1. If I comment out the plugin, it builds fine. Otherwise, the preceding sibling dependency is "missing". I just checked out/built/installed the 2.7-SNAPSHOT and the error is still occurring.

I still see this error with v2.7. What are the configurations to run the plugin in aggreagte mode for a multi-module project?

The problem is still not fixed. Why the issue is closed?

what about 2.8? can we close this issue now that MJAVADOC-284 is closed? I haven't seen it, unless you're talking about the case where the javadoc plugin forks a new build in order to produce javadocs for dependencies...for which there is a flag to skip that, and I'm assuming MJAVADOC-284 has fixed in a more permanent way.

yes, with MJAVADOC-284 fixed, this issue is a duplicate IMHO
