--- Comment #2 from Mikhail T. <mi+apa...@aldan.algebra.com> --- (In reply to Jaikiran Pai from comment #1) > However, I'm unsure why the javadoc tools errors out in such cases It errors out because of the explicit "failonerror=true" in the <javadoc> element :) The quick-dirty workaround is to simply flip the above setting to false -- as I'm already doing in my update to FreeBSD port devel/apache-ant (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237913) The proper fix, I guess, is to painstakingly exclude the sources dependent on the missing optional dependencies from Javadoc as they are already excluded from compilation... Then the failonerror can be proudly set back to true again... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
