Bug ID: 57982
Summary: build.xml assumes Javadoc 7+ is used but does not
check this
Product: Tomcat 9
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: s...@apache.org
The build file in Tomcat 6 forces the use of Java 7 for running javadoc.
The build.xml file for Tomcat 9 (and 8) assumes that javadoc 7+ will be used
(and so, like TC6, does not apply any fix for CVE-2013-1571).
However the build file does not check that a suitable version of javadoc is
being used.
Although it is not possible to compile these versions of Tomcat using Java 6,
it is possible to use Java 6 to create the javadoc.
This is a slightly unlikely scenario, but it might still be worth adding a java
version check.
