Fix javadoc publishing of maven artifacts
The sources artifact published to Maven Central only contains Kotlin files. The javadoc artifact is empty.
Consequently, users cannot look up the Javadoc of a method from within the IDE and code-completion provides ugly parameter names like HttpUrl.get($this$toHttpUrlOrNull).
Please publish full Javadoc to Maven Central. Hopefully that will fix parameter names and let users look up the Javadoc on the fly.
(I personally consider this issue to be a bug, not a feature request, but I leave it up to you to decide)
@cowwoc The sources artifact should only contain kotlin files. OkHttp is implemented in Kotlin.
Could hook up dokkaJavadoc for the Maven artifact. https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2020/08/dokka-preview-based-on-kotlin-1-4-0-rc/
Hopefully it's improving but when I looked at this previously the upgrade wasn't a tap in

@swankjesse Normally I like to be able to debug into the source-code, but so long as the method, parameter names are correct with Javadoc I think it's fine :)
@cowwoc source appears to be publishing fine https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/squareup/okhttp3/okhttp/4.9.0/
Likely there is something else going wrong with your IDE stopping this working. It works correctly for me in downstream projects with Intellij. It contains all the source code as *.kt files.
But publishing javadoc artifacts should be fixed.
@yschimke The sources are there but if you CTRL+LMB click in IDEA it will open the decompiler instead of the sources. This is likely a side-effect of your usage of Kotlin. Adding Javadoc should be enough I guess.
I think if you just create your own dokka task and name it javadocJar before calling withJavadocJar() it'll work fine out of the box.
@ansman I'm not an expert on dokka, if it's that simple we'd happily accept a PR enabling that. I held off previously because dokka had a big rewrite, but that sounds great!
It is that simple, unfortunately dokka 0.10 does not support javadoc generation on JDK 11. I tried upgrading to dokka 1.4.20 but I hit the same issue as you filed: https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/1592
Working for 5.0, closing as low priority. Sorry.
