I am using maven-javadoc-plugin 3.0.1(latest version). When I try to generate site information (project reports and etc), the javadoc does not show links to the dependent classes. All I see is full class name and no linkage. When I use maven-javadoc-plugin 2.10.4, everything works fine.
Using maven 3.2.5 and java 8.
Ran "mvn clean site -P profileID -X" for both versions of maven-javadoc-plugin and noticed below in the output:
- Case 3.0.1

My observations: In 3.0.1 case, the plugin fails to retrieve the information from the correct repo. In 2.10.4 case, the Sending request was having the correct snapshot-site url.
