Package: src:openjdk-9 Version: 9~b170-2 Severity: wishlist Please disable javadoc's doclint feature by default.
In src:openjdk-8, javadoc's doclint feature has been disabled by default. This allows older software, that happens to have cosmetic javadoc problems, to continue to build. openjdk-8 patch and discussion: https://sources.debian.net/src/openjdk-8/8u111-b14-2/debian/patches/disable-doclint-by-default.diff/ openjdk-9 patch, which is apparently not working: https://sources.debian.net/src/openjdk-9/9~b170-2/debian/patches/disable-doclint-by-default.diff/ This is causing around 80 packages to fail to build, a guess of the list is: https://paste.debian.net/974395/ 'shrinksafe' is a simple package that's definitely broken: find src -name *.java -and -type f -print0 | xargs -s 512000 -0 /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/javadoc -locale en_US -classpath /usr/share/java/js.jar:debian/_jh_build.shrinksafe -d debian/_jh_build.javadoc/api -quiet -notimestamp -source 1.7 Creating destination directory: "debian/_jh_build.javadoc/api/" src/org/dojotoolkit/shrinksafe/TokenMapper.java:232: error: @param name not found * @param parseTree Tiny testcase, which succeeds on Java 8 and fails on Java 9: % cat A.java /** <br/>Hi! */ public class A {} % javadoc A.java Loading source file A.java...
