Hi, In spite of the specific title, I actually have several questions (note, I'm not currently subscribed to list, so feel free to CC me directly on any responses):
1. What's the timeline for the maven-apache-parent 22? It seems a bit overdue, especially given all the plugins that have been updated since 21 was released. I'm hoping https://github.com/apache/maven-apache-parent/pull/1 gets merged in. Can somebody merge that before 22 is released? Two people reviewed and approved it 10 months ago. 2. I had another idea for adding something like the following to satisfy the use case for cross-compilation using newer JDKs without specifying `-bootstrapclasspath`. Would this be worth a pull request (or a committer could just add it if they think it's a good idea). <properties> <compilerCompliance>8</compilerCompliance> </properties> <profile> <id>jdk-release-flag</id> <activation> <jdk>[9,)</jdk> </activation> <properties> <maven.compiler.release>${compilerCompliance}</maven.compiler.release> </properties> </profile> 3. And finally... I noticed that JDK 11's javadoc is not getting the backports of the JDK 12 upstream patches... even though 11 is supposed to be an LTS version. This causes javadocs generated with maven-javadoc-plugin to be broken for projects which aren't using modules. Specifically, the following bug appears to not be patched in 11 that affect all users of maven-javadoc-plugin. Some plugin goals output (such as javadoc:aggregate) can be patched after building, but others (javadoc:jar) can't easily be patched, because the broken javadoc jar would have to be disassembled to patch and reconstructed. Is there a workaround for these planned by the maven-javadoc-plugin developers, or is the hope that upstream will fix it eventually? https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215291 (severe loss of functionality when building non-modular code... which is most java code today... using JDK 11) https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8227487 (a minor regression also not patched in 11) https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8214856 (another bug, not sure how serious, also not patched in 11) Thanks, Christopher --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
