Alternatively you could fix this by getting javadoc 1.8 to ignore javadoc problems by passing it the -Xdoclint:none option, but I've heard that breaks earlier javadoc versions, so it needs to be done selectively :-/. The fact AOO < 4.1.2 can only be built with Java < 1.8 needs to be documented somewhere too. Damjan
