I have a package in Java called foo.abc.xyz (name changed). The xyz level of the package has no source files, but it contains subpackages such as asdf and qwerty that do contain classes. I have a package-info.java file with a comment for that level of the package, but when I generate the Javadoc, pages are generated for foo.abc.xyz.asdf and foo.abc.xyz.qwerty, but not for just foo.abc.xyz. Its package-info.java file seems to be entirely ignored. Is there a way to make Javadoc generate separate pages for every level of a package, not just ones that contain classes? I'm using the Javadoc generator in Intellij IDEA, if that makes a difference.

Note: packages do not have "levels" ... as far as the Java language or the Java tool chains are concerned. As far as the JLS is concerned, a package with no classes in it does not exist. – Stephen C Mar 24 '18 at 02:17
