maven-verifier

embedded mode does not work due to sun bug 9009028 - System.setProperties(null) corrupts java.home, turned into JDK-8030781. This affects at least maven-core and surefire.

...

Running forkMode=never was fixed in 2.17 (unreleased as of yet). Building surefire on jdk8 requires using the -Dverifier.forkMode=once option (due to maven-verifier embedded mode issue).

maven-javadoc-plugin

The javadoc executable has become stricter compared to previous versions:

  • "unknown tag" has become an error
  • "reference not found" has become an error

This means that generating the javadocs can suddenly fail only by upgrading the JDK

See https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-701 for the details.
