[FIXED] How to fully disable javadoc checking with checkstyle maven plugin

Issue

i want to use the Maven Checkstyle plugin with a custom configuration that tells Checkstyle to not warn or error on missing Javadoc. Is there a way to do this?

Solution

Just found it myself. To fully ignore all javadoc checking for everthing, add this to your checkstyle configuration:

    <!-- No need for Javadoc -->
    <module name="JavadocType">
        <property name="severity" value="ignore"/>
    </module>
    <module name="JavadocMethod">
        <property name="severity" value="ignore"/>
    </module>
    <module name="JavadocVariable">
        <property name="severity" value="ignore"/>
    </module>
