Classpath cleared after maven-javadoc-plugin:javadoc

Repro Case:

• I have a war based maven configuration with the maven-javadoc-plugin as copied below.
• > mvn jetty:run

Result:

• When jetty loads, every servlet fails to load, the first is always java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener followed by null pointers and CNFE's on every servlet.

When i take out the execution of the maven-javadoc-plugin everything works?! My only guess is that when the javadoc plugin runs, it does something with the classpath such that when jetty runs it doesn't have what it needs to find all the classes correctly.

My javadoc configuration is as follows:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>javadoc</goal>
      </goals>
      <phase>generate-resources</phase>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
