Hi devs,
FYI, I was correcting the java 8 doclint errors over the weekend and I’ve noticed an
issue: doclint fails the compilation when there’s an “unknown” javadoc tag. For example on
the XAR Maven Plugin, the @parameter javadoc tag was making it fail. I’ve fixed it by
converting the plugin to use annotation but still this is potentially a problem for other
places.
I haven’t found any option to turn this off specifically. We can turn off some group of
features but apparently it’s not possible to turn off only this feature.
See
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/javadoc.html
I’m mentioning this FYI and also in case someone knows of a solution (ofc finding the
corresponding doclint group and turning it off for the failing module is an option albeit
not a perfect one).
Thanks
-Vincent
