Hi,
We are considering moving the generation of javadocs out of the main build cycle and into the release profile.
In pratice this means:
./build.sh
which used to generate the javadocs for the relevant modules
./build.sh -Prelease
could be used to generate the javadocs for everything that was built before, or
./build.sh javadoc:jar -pl <module, e.g. ArjunaJTA/narayana-jta/>
to build a specific modules javadocs
The benefit of this is a more efficient dev build cycle as generating the javadocs adds around 30% to the build time:
./build.sh clean install -DskipTests 2:27
./build.sh clean install -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true 1:54
If anyone routinely uses the javadocs that are generated from a dev build (and isn't happy with the alternatives above), please do shout up,
Tom
