Carl Steinbach commented on HADOOP-7069: ---------------------------------------- Sorry, what I meant is that it's possible to make Forrest work with JDK6, but I think you get the idea. > Replace forrest with supported framework > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7069 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7069 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Reporter: Jakob Homan > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > > It's time to burn down the forrest. Apache forrest, which is used to > generate the documentation for all three subprojects, has not had a release > in several years (0.8, the version we use was released April 18, 2007), and > requires JDK5, which was EOL'ed in November 2009. Since it doesn't seem > likely Forrest will be developed any more, and JDK5 is not shipped with > recent OSX versions, or included by default in most linux distros, we should > look to find a new documentation system and convert the current docs to it. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
