Maybe the project URL isn't the best choice there, but the Maven Javadoc plugin still shouldn't fail the build.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked AssertJ issue and reproducing Javadoc generation with a project URL containing the # character. Trace the Maven Javadoc Plugin behavior from that reproduction; done means the build no longer fails for this URL while detectLinks is enabled.
