How can I disable the Maven Javadoc plugin from the command line?

Question

In pom.xml I have declaration like this

    
        org.apache.maven.plugins         


        

Answer 1

You can use the maven.javadoc.skip property to skip execution of the plugin, going by the Mojo's javadoc. You can specify the value as a Maven property:

    true

or as a command-line argument: -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true, to skip generation of the Javadocs.
