HI Wayne, You are absolutely right, I tried using JDK 1.7 version and i am able to complete it successfully. But if i execute "mvn -X javadoc:javadoc" i can see it still gives me warning for my Annotation values which is really strange still looks like javadoc doesn't able to find those JAR in there classpath that's why it gives me WARNING message..... yes atleast i am able to complete my build successfully.
But do you know is there any work around for JDK 1.6 version to fix this issue, As we might not able to change JDK version for our Production environment or build server as we have dependency with Jboss version. Thanks, daivish.
