Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-7038: -------------------------------------- We don't need to adjust the Jenkins scripts to specify Ant 1.10.6. The Jenkins scripts already require the latest version of Ant. > 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 > Priority: Major > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
