Javadoc file is really absent in filesystem. Simultaneously, it is present in central repository. Why it was not downloaded and how to download it by force?

Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
Click on the "maven projects" (make sure tool buttons are on) on the right side of intelij and then click on "Download Documentation".
Also, for future downloading you can go to the File -> Settings -> Build,execution, deployment, -> build tools -> Maven -> importing -> mark "Documentation" checkbox and apply settings
Solution 2 - Java
Maven Projects panel
Maven Projects tool window > Icon with green arrow and a box > Download Documentation:
See IntelliJ IDEA documentation for Version 14.1 or current version.
Solution 3 - Java
For me, it worked when I pressed on Download Source and Documentation.
Solution 4 - Java
By the way, if you experience same case with me (working with corporate Maven repository), Maven may be ignoring an opportunity to further download javadoc if it once wasn't there. And to make it request it one more time, you have to remove <artifactId>-<version>-javadoc.jar.lastUpdated
file from .m2/repository/<groupId>/<artifactId>/<version>
, then try again.
