How do I avoid specifying the defaulAuthor element during javadoc creation using the javadoc plugin. I don't want the author element, since the javadocs will be shipped to customers.
A:
Why don't you set it to be the name of your company in a parent pom? See plugin configuration options

Maybe I can do that, but I have never seen author information in some of the commonly used java libraries

I normally write my own javadoc, I'm not convinced that something generating it for me (other than my IDE when I actually want it) is useful. Consider that if you are adding javadoc without actually writing any documentation what value you are adding?

@Jon - I am just creating the javadoc skeleton by running the fix command. Our whole intention is to fill it with documentation, this is just a pre-requisite for us

@Jon - The question was primarily related to avoid specifying the author information
