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. > Get gradle build to work with Java 8 > ------------------------------------ > > 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]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
