I don't see this error with my build (Ubuntu Linux). From what I can see, my 'ant javadoc' build *is* building the javadoc for DateTimeParser, so I don't know why I don't see the error.
[javadoc] C:\trunk\java\engine\org\apache\derby\iapi\types\DateTimeParser.java:191: warning - @return tag cannot be used in method with void return type.
But I agree with you, it seems definitely wrong, as that method is certainly void, and so shouldn't have a @return tag.
The Hudson build also hasn't complained, or did I miss a warning?
I'm not quite sure. When I look at the bottom of https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/job/Derby-trunk/lastBuild/console I see this: [WARNINGS] Found 1 new annotations (0 high, 1 normal, 0 low) [WARNINGS] Found 1 annotations (0 high, 1 normal, 0 low) [WARNINGS] Setting build status to FAILURE since total number of annotations exceeds the threshold 0 ERROR: Illegal address javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Illegal address in string ``[email protected],[email protected]'' at javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.<init>(InternetAddress.java:94) at hudson.tasks.MailSender.buildCulpritList(MailSender.java:374) So maybe the Hudson build was trying to tell you something, but can't figure out how. thanks, bryan
