See {{{../test-javadoc-mojo.html}javadoc:test-javadoc parameters}} for more informations. <>: If you don't set \ or \ parameters, the Test Javadoc report use the same configuration (i.e. \ or \ parameters) that Javadoc report (backward compatible reasons). <>: To run the reports selectively, you need to include only the reports that you prefer. Read the {{{selective-javadocs-report.html}Selective Javadocs Reports}} part for more information. * Using the \ configuration parameter You could also want a different kind of configuration for the Javadoc report and the test Javadoc report. For this, you need to configure the Maven Javadoc plugin in your pom.xml to handle the \ configuration parameter, for instance: +-----+ ... org.apache.maven.plugins maven-javadoc-plugin 2.5 html My API for ${project.name} ${project.version} My API for ${project.name} ${project.version} ... javadoc test-html My Test API for ${project.name} ${project.version} My Test API for ${project.name} ${project.version} ... test-javadoc ... +-----+ You need to call .
