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

In pom.xml I have declaration like this

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>attach-javadocs</id>
                <goals>
                    <goal>jar&开发者_StackOverflow中文版lt;/goal>
                </goals>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>

is there any way to turn that off from command line?

I do know I can extract that into a profile, but that is not what I want.

The Javadoc generation can be skipped by setting the property maven.javadoc.skip to true [1], i.e.

-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true

(and not false)

---

It seems, that the simple way

-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true

does not work with the release-plugin. in this case you have to pass the parameter as an "argument"

mvn release:perform -Darguments="-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true"

---

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:

<properties>
    <maven.javadoc.skip>true</maven.javadoc.skip>
</properties>

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

---

Add to the release plugin config in the root-level pom.xml:

<configuration>
    <arguments>-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true</arguments>
</configuration>

---

For newbie Powershell users it is important to know that '.' is a syntactic element of Powershell, so the switch has to be enclosed in double quotes:

mvn clean install "-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true"

Dans le pom.xml

1st option : using properties

<properties>
    <maven.javadoc.skip>true</maven.javadoc.skip> 
</properties>

2nd option : using the build > pluginManagement > plugins > plugin > configuration

<build>
    <pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.5.3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <goals>deploy</goals>
                    <arguments>-Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true</arguments>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

3rd option : When invoking mvn (this one did not work for me)

 mvn clean install -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true

---

One important thing is: if you set <skip>false<skip> in configuration of maven-javadoc-plugin in pom.xml, the -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true will not work, at least for maven-daemon(aka mvndaemon or mvnd).
