Description
Newly generated jenkins jobs fail with
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:2.10.3:jar (default-cli) on project rsb: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc
The reasons seems to be that two new maven goals are generated into the job
before
-B install deploy dependency:copy-dependencies
now
-B install deploy dependency:copy-dependencies javadoc:jar source:jar
0.12 is affected. I dont know about the other versions. See the attached jenkins output for further details.

Fix javadoc generation with java 8
- Disable doclint for java 8 using a maven profile. Doclint lacks
configuration options to make detected problems a warning instead of
an error which results in the fact that all files containing linter
errors are not contained in the generated documentation. The generated
protocol classes using protoc are full of javadoc errors and we cannot
afford having them (and in turn all classes referencing these classes
in their javadoc) excluded from the documentation. - Fix some obvious errors detected by doclint.

#1 Updated by J. Wienke over 8 years ago
Can you please show more output of your invocation? There must be some more error messages.
What I've seen a few days ago was a bug in javadoc from java6 which caused a crash of the javadoc tool. Try to ensure that your javadoc is at least from version 7.
#2 Updated by J. Wienke over 8 years ago
- Category set to Java
- Target version set to rsb-0.13

- "Can you please show more output of your invocation? There must be some more error messages."
the whole output can be found in the file attached to this issue.

We have used Java 8. The call can be found at the bottom of this file:
... [ERROR] Command line was: /opt/Oracle_Java/jdk1.8.0_45/jre/../bin/javadoc @options @packages @argfile ...
If thats not the output you meant, give me a shout and i will happily gather more information if i can.
#4 Updated by A. Neumann over 8 years ago
Its 75 errors and 100 warnings starting from line 846
#5 Updated by J. Wienke over 8 years ago
Strangely, for me these are just reported as warnings and not as errors.
Could you please try to specify the maven property maven.javadoc.failOnError=false in the build to see whether this helps
#6 Updated by A. Neumann over 8 years ago
I added the property to rsb-java.project and now the job succeeds.

Should I commit and push the change to the repository?
#7 Updated by J. Wienke over 8 years ago
It seems that with java 8 javadoc suddenly became much more strict about syntax errors. That's the reason why most others did not notice this.
You can add that line to the citk repo, but please with correct indentation. ;) Spaces only.
