------------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade ant version and re-write javadoc build targets to
use improved <javadoc>task
Key: DERBY-7038
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-7038
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.16.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
Assignee: Rick Hillegas
Version 1.10.6 of ant will enhance the <javadoc> task in order to understand
some of the module-aware switches introduced by Java 9. Currently, our javadoc
targets work around the limitations of the <javadoc> task by running javadoc
via the <java> task. We should upgrade our version of ant and re-write the
javadoc targets to take advantage of the improvements introduced by ant 1.10.16
(see https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ant/RELEASE-NOTES-1.10.6.html). I
imagine this work will occur in 3 phases:
1) Upgrade the Jenkins scripts to require ant 1.10.6.
2) Upgrade our build scripts to require ant 1.10.6.
3) Re-wire our javadoc targets.
