How to force javadoc generation in presence of errors? [message #1848889]

Is there a way to force javadoc to generate some output, even if javadoc does not know how to find a project dependency?

I have two Eclipse module projects, A and B. Project A depends on project B. Project B appears on project A Modulepath, appears in the Module dependencies tab, appears in Project references, and project A builds and runs correctly. However, javadoc says it cannot find the referenced project B module and refuses to generate anything for project A (which is all I check for generation). I played around with several --module-path and --add-module JVM arguments with no success.

Is there a way to force Eclipse javadoc to generate something for project A, even if javadoc does not know how to access other projects used to build and run project A? Is there a flag to force generation in the presence of errors?

I am using Eclipse 2021-06 J11. I can get javadoc to work on a single project, but not one that has any dependencies. Has anyone been able to generate javadoc when one module project depends on another?

I thought I found a workaround, but not quite. If I comment-out the "requires B" in the module-info of project A, then I get tons of build errors, and javadoc errors about missing links, but the Console tab prints what I would expect to see from javadoc. There is no "cannot find module" error. However, although this creates the doc folder, that folder is empty, it still does not generate any javadoc.

Is there any way to get verbose output in the Console tab or log file from the Project -> Generate javadoc... and from the javadoc exe to see how all that is being invoked?
