[jira] [Commented] (MJAVADOC-387) Handle JDK8 -Xdoclint

["Christopher Tubbs (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-387?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15090051#comment-15090051 ] 

Christopher Tubbs commented on MJAVADOC-387:
--------------------------------------------

That doesn't work when you want to do something like {{-Xdoclint:all,-missing}}. In fact, I can't find any syntax which will make that happen.

> The Oracle team have added the doclint tool to JDK 8. The tool validates Javadoc as part of a standard Javadoc run. Unfortunately, with the default settings, it rejects many HTML elements that are perfectly acceptable to browsers, and all invalid Javadoc references (@links). This is likely to prove very unpopular with developers.
> Action needed:
> 1) Provide a maven-javadoc-plugin configuration item and property that can control the doclint tool (currently this requires using additionalparam AFAICT).
> 2) Apply the {{-Xdoclint:none}} option by default, so that doclint is opt-in, not opt-out (ie. fix Oracle's messed up default). This will also make it much easier for developers to handle migration to JDK 8.
