= Proposed System Wide Change: Java 8 =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Java8
<snip>
== Detailed Description ==
OpenJDK8 is much more strict when it comes to building javadocs. Many -
javadoc package in Fedora fail to build. Those that are built should continue
working just fine.
(selective quoting)
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
** In case of a mass rebuild, supply/apply patches to fix build against OpenJDK
8
* Other developers:
** Other java packagers will need to apply patches to their java package to
ensure they can build against OpenJDK 8
** Everyone will need to test packages to verify that they work against
OpenJDK 8
* Release engineering:
** Possibly mass-rebuild (?) all Java packages. This is not strictly required
to make OpenJDK 8 the default Java runtime.
Given the known large number of failures (OptionalJavadocs says "80% build failure rate" without saying that all are JavaDoc-related), we really should do a mass rebuild to identify which packages fail to build and to file bugs soonish,
instead of waiting for a Fedora-wide mass rebuild and then scrambling to
fix dozens/hundreds of build failures in to avoid slipping the
schedule. We don't necessarily need an official one, perhaps only in a never-to-be-merged side tag (or even scratch builds?)
