Great, thanks Paul! The workaround using ant directly in gradle works fine!
I created a feature request to support the javaVersion property to the
gradle team here https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/33659.
Best regards,

Yes, Gradle doesn't know about those 4.0.27 changes yet. Feel free to
pester them to add that in an upcoming Gradle release.
For now, you can create a custom groovy task, sort of like where
Grails is possibly headed:
https://github.com/apache/grails-core/blob/groovydoc-tool-rewrite/buildSrc/src/main/groovy/org/apache/grails/internal/build/GrailsGroovydocWorker.groovy
Or, just call the commandline or Ant task making sure that Groovy
4.0.27 (groovy, groovy-groovydoc, groovy-ant if using ant) is on the
classpath:
tasks.register('runGroovyDoc', JavaExec) {
classpath = sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath
mainClass = 'org.codehaus.groovy.tools.groovydoc.Main'
args = ['-d', 'build/groovydoc', '-sourcepath',
sourceSets.main.groovy.srcDirs.join(':'), '-javaVersion', 'JAVA_17',
'.']
}
tasks.register('runGroovyDocAnt') {
doLast {
ant.taskdef(name: 'groovydoc', classname:
'org.codehaus.groovy.ant.Groovydoc', classpath:
sourceSets.main.runtimeClasspath.asPath)
ant.groovydoc(
destdir: 'build/groovydocant',
sourcepath: sourceSets.main.groovy.srcDirs.join(':'),
packagenames: '*',
javaVersion: 'JAVA_17') {
}
}
}
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi,
I am keen to use the new javaVersion property added to GroovyDoc in 4.0.27 but cannot
figure it out. According to the gradle documentation, "The version of the Groovydoc
that is used, is the one from the Groovy dependency defined in the build script." so
i did this:
add implementation `"org.apache.groovy:groovy-ant:4.0.27"` to dependencies
add a groovydoc config
groovydoc {
docTitle = "${project.name} ${project.version}"
windowTitle = "${project.name} ${project.version}"
link 'https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/', 'java.'
javaVersion = 'JAVA_21'
}
But gradle is unhappy with this:
Could not set unknown property 'javaVersion' for task
':matrix-spreadsheet:groovydoc' of type org.gradle.api.tasks.javadoc.Groovydoc.
Has anyone got this to work and could share some insights?
