Is there a way to confirm the default access level for -Xdoclint in javac for JDk 8 and 9? When we run javac -X (9ea), get this: --------------------------- $ javac -X -Xdoclint Enable recommended checks for problems in javadoc coments -Xdoclint:(all|none|[-])[/] Enable or disable specific checks for problems in javadoc comments, where is one of accessibility, html, missing, reference, or synta, and is one of public, protected, package, or private. -Xdoclint/package:([-]) Enable or disable checks in specific packages. is a comma sepaated list of package specifiers. Package specifier is either a qualified name f a package or a package name prefix followed by .*, which expands to all sub-package of the given package. Prefix the package specifier with - to disable checks or the specified packages. Note: Apart from corrections in few spellings (coments, separated, f) in the above output, it may be nice to know, - What are the 'recommended' checks? - Even though the variable access seems optional, it may help if such options are made clear in the help output or in the documentation. This has come as a suggestion in HYPERLINK "https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8073216"JDK-8073216 . " in the description of "-Xdoclint:[-]group [/access]", the default access level must be specified (for Java 1.8.0_31, the default is private)" Existing doc url: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javac.html Thank You, Pardeep -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
