Florian Brunner commented on MJAVADOC-387:
------------------------------------------

I think the default should be the same as the default of the Javadoc tool.

> 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.
