This is caused by a change in the default doclint settings used by
OpenJDK 8. Think '-Wall -Werror' for those more familiar with gcc.

We can patch OpenJDK 8 in Fedora to change the default to be more
lenient. This would be a deviation from upstream (and people might be
surprised when proprietary builds of Java exhibit different behaviour).

If this is the main/driving motivation behind this Change (and not slow
ARM boxes) please consider that fixing OpenJDK 8 is an option.

Thanks,
Omair
