Rick Hillegas created DERBY-7038: ------------------------------------ Summary: Upgrade ant version and re-write javadoc build targets to use improved <javadoc>task Key: DERBY-7038 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7038 Project: Derby Issue Type: Improvement Components: Build tools Affects Versions: 10.16.0.0 Reporter: Rick Hillegas Assignee: Rick Hillegas
Version 1.10.6 of ant will enhance the <javadoc> task in order to understand some of the module-aware switches introduced by Java 9. Currently, our javadoc targets work around the limitations of the <javadoc> task by running javadoc via the <java> task. We should upgrade our version of ant and re-write the javadoc targets to take advantage of the improvements introduced by ant 1.10.16 (see https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ant/RELEASE-NOTES-1.10.6.html). I imagine this work will occur in 3 phases: 1) Upgrade the Jenkins scripts to require ant 1.10.6. 2) Upgrade our build scripts to require ant 1.10.6. 3) Re-wire our javadoc targets. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
