[Hawkular-dev] Solved in Parent 17: JavaDoc Plugin failing during release:perform

[Peter Palaga]

Hi *,

I could finally find why the JavaDoc plugin was failing during 
release:perform.

The <additionalparam>${javadoc.doclint}</additionalparam> parameter set 
in "release" profile in parent [1] was ignored because the "release" 
profile simply was not active during release:perform.

I always thought that release plugin activates the profile with this 
name during release:perform by default. Apparently, it is not the case. 
The solution was to add an explicit

   <releaseProfiles>release</releaseProfiles>

to the <configuration> of release plugin [2]. The change is there in 
hawkular-parent 17 that I have just released. I am about to send PRs to 
consuming projects.

Sorry for the inconvenience that was caused solely by my ignorance.


BTW, for those, who want to assure the quality their JavaDoc manually, 
this will fail if there is any problem in JavaDoc:

   mvn clean install -Prelease -Djavadoc.doclint=-Xdoclint:all

The variant without -Djavadoc.doclint=-Xdoclint:all will just output all 
warnings and will not fail:

   mvn clean install -Prelease

Best,

Peter
