I think javadoc errors should block the release and we should fix them. A release is still possible if you simply use java 7, so a simple workaround exists. I guess it would make sense to enable javadoc building on our CI server, however as we're not paying that much attention to what is happening there anyway, I'm not sure if it helps. Fixing the javadoc for java 8 is not the nicest task in the world, but you can usually do this fairly quickly. Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler Adobe Research Switzerland [email protected]
