Hi Maven Developers - now that Javadoc plugin 2.10.4 is released and work has commenced on the 3.0 version, can we revisit the patch I submitted for MJAVADOC-452? Its difficult to break the patch into smaller patches because most of the fixes are interrelated, but I'd be happy to recreate the fixes on the 2.10.4 tag or the latest trunk. How can I help?

Hi Robert,

For the skip parameter, the test is very simple. Usage of the fix goal without disabling CLIRR will result in a loop where fix invokes clirr, and clirr runs fix.

I understand your reticence about this skip option - but in scenarios where one wants to have the plugin execute automatically with "force", having an override is useful. So from my perspective it is useful and it follows the patterns that other plugins use, including the javadoc plugin - just this goal is missing a skip option.

I didn't break the patch up into smaller patches, but I did annotate all of the changes that the patch performs line-by-line in the Jira case. I hope that helps "demystify" the fixes.

Best regards,

Richard

Hi Richard,

this release is to push the final 2.x version before moving to a pure Maven 3 implementation (there were quite some fixed issues waiting to be released). Once released I will continue, also including some Java9 related improvements. That will give me enough time to go through your patches. Since you weren't able to split it into smaller pieces I need more time to verify and apply it.

thanks,
Robert

ps. In case you are still convinced the skip parameter is required, you need a complete testcase to show it to me. In general *I* won't apply any requests to add a skip parameter, there are often better solutions.
