[gmf-dev] Abandon Javadoc generation for GMF Tooling?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Status:
* GMF Tooling produces Javadoc
* Producing Javadoc for GMF Tooling makes build annoying (need to run "mvn install -P!javadoc" before)
* GMF Tooling ships source features

JDT shows Javadoc when source bundles are available. It does not actually use Javadoc in such case, but shows Javadoc as it appears in relevant source available for this class. So it seems like such effort to produce Javadoc does not add extra-value in IDE on providing Source features.
Then I'm in favor of removing Javadoc profiles from GMF Tooling and skip Javadoc generation.

WDYT?

On a side note, I think that GMF-Tooling feature should require (not include) the GMF Runtime SDK that ships sources for GMF Runtime.
