Thanks, Rory. It appears that the Taglet classes have moved again. When
I compile Derby with b162, I see lots of errors like the following:
[javac]
/Users/rhillegas/derby/mainline/trunk/java/build/org/apache/derbyBuild/javadoc/DiskLayoutTaglet.java:24:
error: package jdk.javadoc.doclet.taglet does not exist
[javac] import jdk.javadoc.doclet.taglet.Taglet;
[javac] ^
[javac]
/Users/rhillegas/derby/mainline/trunk/java/build/org/apache/derbyBuild/javadoc/DiskLayoutTaglet.java:35:
error: cannot find symbol
[javac] public class DiskLayoutTaglet implements Taglet
[javac] ^
[javac] symbol: class Taglet
I don't see Taglet in the public javadoc at
http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/index.html?overview-summary.html
Any suggestions concerning best practices for patching around this problem?
Thanks,
-Rick
