Maven + javadoc: add offline links

For each job in our jenkins server I also want to build the javadoc. The projects are maven projects so I use mvn javadoc:javadoc to generate the javadoc. This works just fine but now I want to link with external javadoc of third party API's we use (e.g. wicket). For that I added a property to the (parent) pom.xml as explained here:

<properties>
    <maven.javadoc.offlineLinks>http://wicket.apache.org/apidocs/1.5/</maven.javadoc.offlineLinks>
</properties>

However, this doesn't work. In the generated javadoc the references to Wicket classes are rendered as simple text and not as links to the offline javadoc.

Just use the following configuration for maven-javadoc-plugin:

<offlineLinks>
  <offlineLink>
    <url>http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/</url>
    <location>../javadoc/jdk-5.0/</location>
  </offlineLink>
</offlineLinks>
