Andrew Purtell created HBASE-12310: -------------------------------------- Summary: Remove custom doclet from hbase-annotations Key: HBASE-12310 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12310 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Andrew Purtell
hbase-annotations includes a custom doclet used for filtering APIs out of the user API javadoc given our project specific interface annotations. However, this is problematic for a few reasons: - To build the doclet we include a system scope dependency to tools.jar. Default Nexus rules disallow that. Staging downstream HBase artifacts will be problematic. I don't know how we were able to release 0.98.7 with this in place. I think someone will be looking into the Apache Nexus configuration. - As I understand it, system scope dependencies will not be supported by Maven 4 because they've been determined to be generally problematic. - As [~busbey] mentioned on HBASE-12299, the root pom specifies the javadoc dependency for all modules and it creates a circular need with the hbase-annotations module. Do we really need a custom doclet? Can we simply remove all of this? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
