Bug Description
I have long been confused by why our CI system, which runs one or another AdoptOpenJDK build (for example the Docker image `maven`), prints warnings from Javadoc—which are then displayed in various forms—while my local builds show nothing. After a lot of comparisons I picked https:/
> This is really an issue that should be fixed in the upstream packages, and disabling javadocs is just masking the problem. So given that, how about we disable doclint for a year and give upstreams time to fix it?
This patch is apparently years old, and any Java project would surely have long since either fixed its Javadoc errors (not necessarily warnings!) or configured its build tool to pass the option to suppress this stuff. The Debian package should certainly not modify the default behavior of a very well known tool.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
