How to generate JavaDoc jar using Maven

The maven-javadoc plugin can be used to generate a javadoc jar file, It uses JDK's javadoc.exe tools to generate javadocs, pack in jar file and deploy along with your project.
To add support of javadoc in your Maven, Just add 'maven-javadoc' plugin into your pom.xml file and specify goal as 'jar'.
Example :
<!-- Generates JAVADOC -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-javadocs</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Run it as mvn:install or mvn:package, It will generate javadoc and package it as a jar file.
