[MJAVADOC-722] Allow Logging Javadoc Warnings and Errors to File

[jira-importer]

Alan Zimmer opened MJAVADOC-722 and commented

Allow for Javadoc generation, either implicitly or through a new configuration, to generate a file containing the warnings and errors that were found during Javadoc generation. Possibly following a similar pattern to the argfile  and options that are generated containing parameters passed to Javadoc create an errors files that will be placed in the Javadoc output folder that is ignored during Javadoc JAR creation.

 

This change would allow for CI systems to run Javadoc builds in parallel while still easily capturing any errors without the need for complex logging systems and would strongly ensure that there is a unique error report for each project.

What you are aiming to achieve might not be as simple as it seems. Take a look at MJAVADOC-721.

Thanks for pointing that issue out! Sounds like this would be best to include the work from that change to make the error messaging more parse-able then to write it to a persistent file. Am I understanding you comment correctly?
