--------------------------------------
Summary: Remove custom doclet from hbase-annotations
Key: HBASE-12310
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12310
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Andrew Purtell
hbase-annotations includes a custom doclet used for filtering APIs out of the
user API javadoc given our project specific interface annotations. However,
this is problematic for a few reasons:
- To build the doclet we include a system scope dependency to tools.jar.
Default Nexus rules disallow that. Staging downstream HBase artifacts will be
problematic. I don't know how we were able to release 0.98.7 with this in
place. I think someone will be looking into the Apache Nexus configuration.
- As I understand it, system scope dependencies will not be supported by Maven
4 because they've been determined to be generally problematic.
- As [~busbey] mentioned on HBASE-12299, the root pom specifies the javadoc
dependency for all modules and it creates a circular need with the
hbase-annotations module.
Do we really need a custom doclet? Can we simply remove all of this?
