Jakob Homan commented on KAFKA-2203:
------------------------------------
A couple data points:
* Samza has a script that runs tests against all supported JDKs and Scala
versions: https://github.com/apache/samza/blob/master/bin/check-all.sh It's
expected to be run before commits, both by the contributor and committer.
However, Samza's tests aren't as long as a Kafka's.
* Samza tried Travis, but eventually disabled it (SAMZA-642). The parallel,
multiconfiguration testing matrix was awesome, but we were seeing so many false
positive test failures and the fact that it ran as a post-commit test (rather
than pre) meant the most committers ignored it.

> Key: KAFKA-2203
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2203
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Gaju Bhat
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.8.1.2
>
> Attachments: 0001-Special-case-java-8-and-javadoc-handling.patch
>
>
> The gradle build halts because javadoc in java 8 is a lot stricter about
> valid html.
> It might be worthwhile to special case java 8 as described
> [here|http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-in-jdk-8-javadoc.html].
