[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-2203) Get gradle build to work with Java 8

["Jeff Maxwell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14599556#comment-14599556 ] 

Jeff Maxwell commented on KAFKA-2203:
-------------------------------------

The KAFKA-2294 patch allows java 8 builds to compile error (not warning) free for later versions of scala (>=2.10.4) without disabling doclint.
Should this issue be closed or should the coding guide (http://kafka.apache.org/coding-guide.html) be updated with regard to javadoc comments?

>    Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
>            Reporter: Gaju Bhat
>            Priority: Minor

> The gradle build halts because javadoc in java 8 is a lot stricter about valid html.
> It might be worthwhile to special case java 8 as described [here|http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-in-jdk-8-javadoc.html].
