[m2e-users] Needing to hint Javadoc to m2e

[Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen <thunderaxiom@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

 

I have a problem with some legacy artifacts which do not have source or javadoc artifacts placed in Maven Central, but where the Javadoc has been published on a webserver, and where I have a source jar present in my workspace.

 

I would like to be able to hint to m2e that for a given artifact in the pom.xml, I would like to have my source jar “attached” to it as the source and the URL “attached” to it as the Javadoc location.    I would not like to modify the existing artifact or put dummy artifacts in my local repository as I would like a robust solution.

 

Any suggestions

Thanks for any suggestions.
