In our master POM we have defined the following (logical) profile to
disable the doclint of javadoc to be able to actually render our
javadocs.
<profile>
<id>Java 8</id>
<activation>
<jdk>1.8</jdk>
</activation>
<properties>
<!-- Disable javadoc linter when building with Java 8
http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-in-jdk-8-javadoc.html
-->
<additionalparam>-Xdoclint:none</additionalparam>
</properties>
</profile>
However this parameter is not supported by Java 7 and anyone trying to
use this parameter with Java 7 will get an error. Now this is not a
problem you'd think, since this is only active when you run Maven with
Java 8? Right?
Well, the truth is more complicated when you use maven toolchains...
In our case we have created a release profile with the toolchains
plugin configured to actually use Java 7. So Maven runs with Java 8,
enables the "Java 8" profile, adds the "additionalparam" configuration
to the javadoc plugin, and starts the toolchain... with java 7's
javadoc, giving a big error.
Does a solution exist for this problem? (granted we can run the build
using Java 7, but that is exactly what I was trying to avoid with the
toolchains!)
