-            <!-- The following code will generate an empty javadoc with just a README.md. This is necessary
-                 to pass the required checks on Maven. The way this works is by setting the classesDirectory
-                 to a directory that only contains the README.md, which we need to copy. If the classesDirectory
-                 is set to the root, where the README.md lives, it still won't have javadocs but the jar file
-                 will contain a bunch of files that shouldn't be there. The faux sources directory is deleted
-                 and recreated with the README.md being copied every time to guarantee that, when building locally,
-                 it'll have the latest copy of the README.md file.
