If you would like to submit a javadoc patch through Jira, please open a ticket at our Issue Tracker and use Documentation for the Component.
To publish the javadocs follow these steps:
Add the following server configuration in your ~/.m2/settings.xml file
<server> <id>pdfbox-site</id> <username>** USERNAME **</username> <password>** PASSWORD **</password> </server>
pdfbox-site is referenced from the PDFBox pom.xml file.
The password should be encrypted following Maven Password Encryption
Run
$ mvn clean javadoc:aggregate scm-publish:publish-scm
from the <SVN_ROOT>/../pdfbox directory.
As mvn clean will delete the javadoc files download from the Apache CMS it's advised to configure ${svn.scmJavadocCheckoutDirectory} to a local directory not below ./target.
