Carl Steinbach commented on HADOOP-7069:
----------------------------------------
There's now a patch available in HADOOP-7075 that fixes the Forrest JDK6
problem.
bq. Forrest is dog slow. The hadoop tar build spends most of it's time building
docs.
With my fix for HADOOP-7075 in place it takes me just under a minute to build
the docs
target. This seems pretty reasonable to me.

> It's time to burn down the forrest. Apache forrest, which is used to
> generate the documentation for all three subprojects, has not had a release
> in several years (0.8, the version we use was released April 18, 2007), and
> requires JDK5, which was EOL'ed in November 2009. Since it doesn't seem
> likely Forrest will be developed any more, and JDK5 is not shipped with
> recent OSX versions, or included by default in most linux distros, we should
> look to find a new documentation system and convert the current docs to it.
