Everyone, (Yes, after months I'm still trying to get Wicket to build properly.)
I just tried to do a "mvn clean install" from the command line. I ran into the Java 8 Javacoc problems. Basically in Java 8 Javadoc will die if there are Javadoc errors. And there are many errors.
Yes, I completely agree that it was stupid for Java 8 to add this backwards-incompatible feature. Yes, I ran into it in my own project. Yes, I know how to change the classpath so that I can build with Java 8. But I'm reporting it here in case (in hopes) someone will want to update the POMs so that they will build with Java 7 or Java 8.
It's a bit intricate, requiring Maven profiles and the like, but here are the gory details:
