javadoc fails on jdk12 with "The code being documented uses modules but the packages defined in $URL are in the unnamed module."

UPDATE FOR THOSE WHO GOOGLED THIS BUG:
If the project uses source/target 8, adding <source>8</source> in javadoc configuration should make the project buildable on jdk {11, 12, 13}:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
      <source>8</source>
    </configuration>
     ...
  </plugin>

------

Take the simple Maven project with latest plugin dependencies (for example, http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8212233/javadoc-bug.tar.gz ), and run with JDK 11 and then with current JDK 12 EA. JDK 11 build would succeed (UPD: it would with JDK 11 GA, but not with later updates), and JDK 12 EA would fail on javadoc generation, which looks like a regression. Or maybe the Maven plugins need to do some new incantation to get it right?



I see projects started to disable Javadoc on 12 because of this:
