Because when it fails the build, we cannot run the Jenkins builds with IBM J9. The JDK is randomly configured/choosen and IBM J9 was (is) also used. But I disabled it a few weeks ago, because of the crashes and miscompiled code. I think this is fixed now – Mike? If I reenable the IBM J9 1.6 and 1.7 on Policeman Jenkins (which I really should do), then it would fail the build, because IBM’s Javadocs are formatted in a way that the Python linter does not understand (as far as I remember they were not broken, but *different*).

So it looks like the Javadoc generator of IBM J9 is not compatible with the python checker. This is why it is disabled. ----- Uwe Schindler H.-H.-Meier-Allee 63, D-28213 Bremen http://www.thetaphi.de <http://www.thetaphi.de/> eMail: [email protected] From: Shai Erera [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 10:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: documentation-lint and IBM J9 Hi I ran 'precommit' and noticed in the end a WARN message that documentation-lint doesn't work w/ J9 1.6.0. While I'm interested to know why (and whether it's just 1.6), can we make the build fail in that case? I think that some of my recent Jenkins build failures were related to it -- I ran precommit, but just didn't notice the WARN message - I only looked at BUILD SUCCESSFUL. I don't mind if the build fails as early as precommit starts .. just to make sure whoever runs it, works w/ a supported JVM. Is it possible? Shai
