Hi,
in preparation of the DevoxxFr talk about Maven and Java9 by Hervé
Boutemy and Arnaud Héritier I noticed some issues with custom taglets
when generation Javadoc reports.
For the developers of Maven plugins we have a set of Annotations or
DocletTags[1] to generate the plugin descriptor.
The taglets are based on com.sun.tools.doclets.Taglet, but when trying
to run this with Java 9-ea+113 I get the following exception.
Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: An error
has occurred in JavaDocs report generation:
Exit code: 1 - javadoc: error - Error - Exception
java.lang.ClassCastException thrown while trying to register Taglet
org.apache.maven.tools.plugin.javadoc.MojoAggregatorTypeTaglet...
What's the preferred way to write custom Taglets when using Java9 and
will this also work with older versions of Java?
I will guess that this is related to the JEP 221 work on the new doclet
API, maybe jdk.javadoc.doclet.taglet.Taglet vs.
com.sun.tools.doclets.Taglet. It might be best to bring this to
javadoc-dev for discussion.
