Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-6188:
--------------------------------------------
If it's not adding value anymore (e.g. we recently turned on faster javadocs
checking via javac's doclint options), I agree we should remove it: it's slow
and hackity and un-understandable.
> Remove HTML verification from checkJavaDocs.py

> Key: LUCENE-6188
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6188
> Project: Lucene - Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: general/javadocs
> Reporter: Ramkumar Aiyengar
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the broken HTML verification in {{checkJavaDocs.py}} has issues in
> some cases (see SOLR-6902).
> On looking further to fix it with the {{html.parser}} package instead,
> noticed that there is broken HTML verification already present (using
> {{html.parser}}!)in {{checkJavadocLinks.py}} anyway which takes care of
> validation, and probably {{jTidy}} does it as well, going by the output
> (haven't verified it).
> Given this, the validation in {{checkJavaDocs.py}} doesn't seem to add any
> further value, so here's a patch to just nuke it instead.
