Hi there! I just got into dokka yesterday … just to be clear: Is it currently possible to publish javadoc jars with JDK >= 11?
k
Nope, it’s not unfortunately. It will be possible from the next release I hope, which should be there in a few months
Here’s the relevant issue https://github.com/Kotlin/dokka/issues/428

in a few months
ouch …

That's weird, Dokka runs just fine on my dist of OpenJDK 11. Granted, I haven't tried to generate javadoc jars, but just running
dokka
works as intended.
k
Yup, dokka itself works fine on JDK versions > 8, but the javadoc format doesn’t
s
Guess Maven Central is going to have to go without a javadoc jar for a few months... I assume JDK 11 support is on the table for the release after the imminent one?
k
Yes, sure. We just don’t want to repeat the same work twice. We’re now changing the internal dokka model and all formats will have to be rewritten, so writing a new javadoc implementation for this release and rewriting it in the next one would be a waste of time IMHO
