I have a project with several related projects. Two of the projects are executable jars with the third, Tools, being classes the two share. javadoc is having troubles compiling Tools and I can't see why. It has only happened since I migrated to Java 8. I never saw this issue with Java 7. The classes I'm referencing with @see are the correct syntax and name. But each @see to one of the other jars results in an error and the javadoc tool returns an error rather than succeeding. If I link from the other jars to Tools' javadoc, @see works just fine.
Can someone tell me what's going on? I added -link commands which the javadoc tool seems to accept, but it still can't find those classes.
