Philipp Ottlinger commented on RAT-302:
---------------------------------------
In RAT 0.14 we experienced problems with more recent JDKs during runs of
javadoc on RAT:
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-273 which was related to
* [https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8270866]
Albeit this bug is already fixed in the JDK the problem remains.
[~joc...@apache.org] do you have an easy way to reproduce the issue so one
could create an upstream ticket at [https://bugs.openjdk.org/?]
I do not really understand the problem the plugin runs into, but would love to
use more recent JDKs. Thanks.
