Olivier Lamy commented on MJAVADOC-732:
---------------------------------------

are we ok to bump minimum version to 9 for this?

```

@since 9

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-732
>             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: javadoc
>            Reporter: Konrad Windszus
>            Priority: Major
>
> Currently javadoc is called as external process which makes consuming/exposing warnings and errors a bit cumbersome and also prevents proper m2e integration.
> As https://openjdk.org/jeps/106 added javadoc support to {{javax.tools}} with Java 8 it should be safe to adopt that given that m-javadoc-p has been updated to require Java 8 in MJAVADOC-675
