Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-7038:
--------------------------------------
We don't need to adjust the Jenkins scripts to specify Ant 1.10.6. The Jenkins
scripts already require the latest version of Ant.
> Upgrade ant version and re-write javadoc build targets to use improved

> Key: DERBY-7038
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7038
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build tools
> Affects Versions: 10.16.0.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Assignee: Rick Hillegas
> Priority: Major
>
> Version 1.10.6 of ant will enhance the <javadoc> task in order to understand
> some of the module-aware switches introduced by Java 9. Currently, our
> javadoc targets work around the limitations of the <javadoc> task by running
> javadoc via the <java> task. We should upgrade our version of ant and
> re-write the javadoc targets to take advantage of the improvements introduced
> by ant 1.10.16 (see
> https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ant/RELEASE-NOTES-1.10.6.html). I
> imagine this work will occur in 3 phases:
> 1) Upgrade the Jenkins scripts to require ant 1.10.6.
> 2) Upgrade our build scripts to require ant 1.10.6.
> 3) Re-wire our javadoc targets.
