-                javadoc processes the shaded Netty sources (even though they're not included in the
-                report), and will complain if it doesn't find JCTools classes.
-                Add the dependency just to avoid warnings:
+                javadoc processes the shaded Netty and Jackson sources (even though they're not
+                included in the report), and will fail if transitive compile-time dependencies of
+                those libraries are missing from the javadoc classpath. Add the ones that are not
+                already present as transitive compile dependencies of core-shaded.
+                failOnError=false handles any remaining missing packages (e.g. ch.randelshofer:
+                fastdoubleparser, which is bundled-and-shaded inside jackson-core and has no
+                standalone published coordinate we can resolve here).
