Java 8 compatibility about jax-doclets HOT 22 OPEN

Aw, damn. That would also mean we need to break Java < 8 compatibility if we support it, no?

from jax-doclets.

It seems so.
The options I see for now are:

• Java 8 only version
• embed doclet API from Java < 8 and rename packages (dirty)

What bothers me is that I quickly looked for information about API changes for doclets and did not find anything. Isn't it used a bit, by other people writing custom doclets?...

from jax-doclets.

I don't think anybody writes doclets anymore ;)

from jax-doclets.

Same issue in Apache Marmotta (MARMOTTA-513), where the doclet is used to generate documentation form the JAX-RS web services.

Any plan to support Java>=8 ?

from jax-doclets.

The truth of the matter is that I don't have time to maintain this project anymore. If you want to make it work for both Java 7 and Java 8 I can grant you commit access.

from jax-doclets.

For us (Marmotta) the urgent think would be to get 0.10.1 released and pushed to maven central as soon as possible,

I have no time either to maintain it, but I do have some time to keep it running and manage some fixes.

from jax-doclets.

Well, I'm not using this project for work anymore, which is also why I don't have time to maintain it. If you have time to put at least your fixes, and perhaps other contributors's fixes that work for you, I can let you push to maven central too (if I figure out how that works again). Let me know if that would work for you and I'll arrange it.

from jax-doclets.

If you give me the credentials, I can help to get 0.10.1 out (issue #63).

from jax-doclets.

You should have push access now. For Maven Central it's trickier: I just checked and you need to create a JIRA to ask for permission to publish jax-doclets like me. I can't grant you that permission in the UI myself.

from jax-doclets.

@FroMage, are you publishing via Sonatype OSS, right? Then you should open an issue, referencing OSSRH-855, asking to grant me (wikier) over the com.lunatech.jax-doclets groupId.

Please, comment issue #63 whatever should be taken into account for publishing 0.10.1 (what contains, etc)

from jax-doclets.

OK done: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-10624

from jax-doclets.

As for what went in, you can see the list here: https://github.com/FroMage/jax-doclets/issues?direction=desc&milestone=2&page=1&sort=created&state=closed and what should go in, I don't really care. Release when you need it released ;) Releasing often is never a bad thing.

from jax-doclets.

Permission granted apparently.

continue this thread at issue #63

from jax-doclets.

I am wondering if this project is still alive? This issue is very old and still not closed.
Also JDK7 has this month it last month about any public updates. So the pressure is here to move to JDK8. Can someone tell more about the project status and about any further interest on the project?

from jax-doclets.

not really... I jumped in to solve a concrete an quick issue, but @FroMage is not maintaining it anymore, I guess.

from jax-doclets.

No, this is pretty much looking for a brave maintainer :)

from jax-doclets.

Is there any idea of how many users are using this doclet project? I am willing to support, but only if a community is in the background to help us too...

from jax-doclets.

I've no idea TBH.

from jax-doclets.

We use it in Apache Marmotta, that's why I needed released 0.10.1 (see issue #63). So I may help.

from jax-doclets.

FroMage, are you willing to support us with your knowledge? If so, we are already 3 persons to maintain ;-)

from jax-doclets.

What little knowledge I have I will share gladly ;)
