Key: MJAVADOC-509 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-509 Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin Issue Type: Bug Components: javadoc Affects Versions: 3.0.0-M1 Environment: Linux ubuntu 16.04 Apache Maven 3.5.2 (138edd61fd100ec658bfa2d307c43b76940a5d7d; 2017-10-18T20:58:13+13:00) Maven home: /home/joel/prog/apache-maven-3.5.2 Java version: 1.8.0_144, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: /home/joel/prog/java/jdk1.8.0_144/jre Default locale: en_NZ, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "4.4.0-104-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" Reporter: Joel Costigliola I believe https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-387 introduced a regression as it overrides any value set in {{additionalparam}} which only manifests when using the maven release plugin My open source project ([AssertJ|http://joel-costigliola.github.io/assertj/index.html]) adds javascript to the javadoc footer I thus need to add this parameter to be able to generate the javadoc: {{--allow-script-in-comments}} The {{mvn release:perform}} command failed with this error: {noformat} [INFO] Exit code: 1 - javadoc: error - Argument for -footer contains JavaScript. [INFO] Use --allow-script-in-comments to allow use of JavaScript. {noformat} the debug log shows that the {{--allow-script-in-comments}} parameter I set was not honored: {noformat} [INFO] [DEBUG] Configuring mojo 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.0.0-M1:jar' with basic configurator --> [INFO] [DEBUG] (f) additionalparam = -Xdoclint:none {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
