[Question] is there a setting to skip javadoc jars? about sbt-sonatype HOT 5 CLOSED

per gitter, a good way to do this is:

sources in (Compile, doc) := Seq()

This generates an empty -javadoc.jar, which lets sonatypeRelease complete successfully

I believe sbt-sonatype do nothing related to javadoc build process. If you need to skip javadoc/scaladoc generation in sbt, do something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21461798/how-to-disable-scaladoc-generation-in-dist-task-in-play-2-2-x-using-project-bui

from sbt-sonatype.

That's what we did. However the we got this error message after that change:

[info] Failed: javadoc-staging, failureMessage:Missing: no javadoc jar found in folder '/org/typelevel/cats-laws_sjs0.6_2.10/0.5.0'

i.e. we are not generating the javadoc jar but now it's complaining that it couldn't find the javadoc jar. I understand that sbt-sonatype might not be directly managing which artifacts get uploaded, but I am relatively new to sbt, so any help would be appreciated.

If, for some reason (for example, license issue or it's a Scala project), you can not provide -sources.jar or -javadoc.jar , please make fake -sources.jar or -javadoc.jar with simple README inside to pass the checking.
