Configuring Help File

 If a custom {{{../javadoc-mojo.html#helpfile}\<helpfile/\>}} parameter is specified, you will be able to use it:

 * if {{{../javadoc-mojo.html#helpfile}\<helpfile/\>}} is a given file, you could use an absolute or a  relative path,
 for instance:

+-----+
<project>
  ...
  <reporting> (or <build>)
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <helpfile>${basedir}/path/to/your/helpfile</helpfile>
          ...
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </reporting> (or </build>)
  ...
</project>
+-----+

 * since 2.6, {{{../javadoc-mojo.html#helpfile}\<helpfile/\>}} could be a resource in your project directory, i.e.
 <<<src/main/java>>>, <<<src/main/resources>>> or <<<src/main/javadoc>>>, for instance:

+-----+
<project>
  ...
  <reporting> (or <build>)
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <helpfile>path/to/your/resource/help-doc.html</helpfile>
          ...
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </reporting> (or </build>)
  ...
</project>
+-----+

 * since 2.6, {{{../javadoc-mojo.html#helpfile}\<helpfile/\>}} could be a resource in the Javadoc plugin dependencies,
 for instance:

+-----+
<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <helpfile>path/to/your/resource/help-doc.html</helpfile>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>groupId</groupId>
            <artifactId>artifactId</artifactId>
            <version>version</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
