mocobeta edited a comment on issue #1304: LUCENE-9242: generate javadocs by calling Ant javadoc task URL: https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/1304#issuecomment-593906297 @dweiss thanks for your comments, I will try to update the PR. > I have mixed feelings about the centralized output folder for these javadocs... It makes projects very inter-connected and relying on each other. I don't know if the linking could be done any different so I think this can be left as is and maybe somebody will figure it out later. I think there is a natural option (and may be only one option as far as I know) to not to use centralized output folder and preserve the per-project outputs. Solr points to Lucene javadocs via absolute URLs like this. I'm sure we can take the same approach for all inter-project links and this will not affect on existing (published) folder structure but only on the "href" attributes. https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/master/solr/common-build.xml#L298 I have no strong opinions about how the links should be, and it's okay to me we change the relative paths to absolute urls when switching to gradle build. One concern about switching to use absolute urls is, I think, we will not be able to check broken links without fixing `checkJavadocLinks.py` as before (this doesn't check if the external links exist or not). Should we remove all relative paths for inter-module links, to keep projects strictly separated? (It looks like just a matter of decision-making...)
