Hi folks, I have fallen into this issue about Maven + Maven Compiler Plugin + JDK16
This is the issue on JDK issue tracking https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8253996 Basically -Xdoclint:missing does not work anymore when you run javac inside the same JVM as Maven core, because the JVM lacks the jdk.javadoc module. If you run javac in "fork" mode the problem is not present because the external "javac" program loads correctly jdk.javadoc module and is able to execute "-Xdoclint" it looks like we have to fix it on Maven, I am not sure the problem is about maven-compiler-plugin or plexus compiler, as it is because the JVM that executes Maven core lacks the jdk.javadoc module. On the JDK side it looks like the issue is to be closed as "works for me" Thoughts? Enrico
