Javadoc fails on aggregator modules

[Ethan McCue]

For projects which contain only a module-info that transitively requires
other modules - i.e. like java.se - the javadoc tool will fail.

This presents a problem for publishing those sorts of artifacts to Maven
Central, which requires some javadoc jar in order to publish. The only
workaround i've found is to go into the build tool, skip normal javadoc
generation, and do it through a hacked script.

Is there a workaround I am missing, is this an intentional deficiency, or
is this something that should be fixed?
