Harsh J commented on HADOOP-8916:
---------------------------------
- Forrest is required as a normal release tarball build dependency. To skip it
could make release builds unintuitive, and we may end up producing releases
without docs properly compiled in it. Currently we're immediately notified we
did not pass it.
- JDK5 is no longer required. This is already done via other JIRA. If we still
need this to go in, please change the JIRA summary appropriately.
- The chinese docs, cn-docs, is not a default target for anything else anymore,
as it is currently unmaintained. But to remove forrest.check from it would mean
if one were to try to build it directly, it wouldn't work unless forrest.home
is auto-specified (as no check is performed). This could get unintuitive.
> make it possible to build hadoop tarballs without java5+ forrest

> Although you can build hadoop binaries without java5 & Forrest, you can't do
