---------------------------------------

Hi,

I've been reading up on this issue and found a quick fix
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15886209/maven-is-not-working-in-java-8-when-javadoc-tags-are-incomplete

JDK8 introduces DocLint to catch javadoc error early in the development cycle. Mvn3 raises errors when installing.
A quick fix is to specify -Xdoclint:none as an additional param.

I tried this and the mvn install worked fine using mvn3 on jdk8.

However, I did find some new issues. 
The mvn install now fails for building 'Catalog and Archive Resource Management Component'

I will look into the surefire reports  (and also post it on the dev list) shortly.

My question regarding this issue is as follows:

Since this fixes the javadoc error, is it a good fix to OODT-823? Can I submit this as a patch?

Or should we open a new issue where we rewrite all the javadoc to conform to the JDK8 doclint?


Thanks!

> OODT build fails when using maven 3 with jdk8. Specifically while generating javadocs (the javadoc compiler that ships with JDK8 throws errors if the javadoc does not conform to the format prescribed for javadocs under jdk8)
