The Javadoc that comes with Java 8 is very picky, and generates errors (rather than warnings) for all sorts of incorrect tags - for example <br/> and <p/> [1]
This new doclint behaviour can be disabled by providing the command-line param -Xdoclint:none Unfortunately this causes Javadoc 7 to complain... Ideally, we should gradually work through the Javadoc fixing the errors. In the meantime, I have changed Continuum to build http core using Java 7 (it was defaulting to Java8). It would be possible to update the poms to conditionally suppress doclint for Java 8, but I'm not sure that is the best approach.
