[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-4010) AttributeSource api has broken documentation due to java generics bug

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4010?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13259184#comment-13259184 ]

The 3.6.0 javadocs are OK because we used java7 to generate them...

Well not totally ok. Only OK on the website. The ones actually included in the release were generated
with Java 5 (because i didnt want anything but a java5 compiler coming anywhere near the actual artifacts).

The website javadocs were separately regenerated with java7: http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowToGenerateNiceJavadocs

> There seems to be a javadocs generation bug, whereby generic type params are not properly escaped.  So if you use <A> as a type param (which we do in AttributeSource.java), it produces invalid HTML.  The bug seems to be fixed in java 7...
> You can see the bug here (search for "after adding"):
>     http://lucene.apache.org/core/old_versioned_docs/versions/3_5_0/api/all/org/apache/lucene/util/AttributeSource.html
> The <A> generic type is gone, and that closing paren is red but should be blue.
> The 3.6.0 javadocs are OK because we used java7 to generate them...
> I think we should avoid <A> to workaround it until we are on java 7...
