title: maven-javadoc-plugin overwrites central repository
body: <p>I have a problem with the Maven Javadoc Plugin and a custom doclet.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using the maven-javadoc-plugin v<strong>2.10.1</strong> and a custom doclet which is basicly a maven jar project.</p>
  
  <p>I have also a <code>settings.xml</code> which defines the <code>central</code> repository to a custom artifactory. </p>
  
  <p>The problem is that evertime I run the maven-javadoc-plugin it tries to resolves the dependencies of the custom doclet from <code>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</code>, the doclet himself it resolves from the custom artifactory.<br>
  The debug output is also very strange, it says that the <code>central</code> repository is <code>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</code> and the <code>snapshot</code> repository is my custom snapshot artifactory.<br>
  It locks like the maven-jar-plugin overwrites the <code>central</code> repository of the <code>settings.xml</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I tell the <code>maven-jar-plugin</code> not to overwrite my <code>central</code> repository.</p>
  
  <p>The debug log looks like this:</p>
