> -1 I don't think we need to make our Javadoc config so complicated and different from all other Commons components. IIRC, it is impossible to add `@Override` in a Javadoc code element in a way that works across JDK 8 through 25. I really don't think that is too much to ask. > We should validate everything on Java LTS versions, since users and distros maybe choose to build with anything we support. What do you mean by *validate*? The code **works** on JDK 8 (test runs), the code even **compiles** and **builds** on JDK 8 (even if it requires using older, possibly unsupported Maven plugin versions). Javadoc in my opinion should be a best-effort for older JDK releases: 1. You don't need it in new IDEs, which use the source code directly, 2. Even if you need it, it is published on our website. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
