Project status

I notice that conversation around this project is being conducted largely in private rather than on this mailing list. I found  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/javadoc-next however no clue about where to start or how to build this project and test it.

Do you have any information about:

* when will a decision be made about whether it makes the java 9 cut?

* how can I utilise and test what's been done already to see how it fits my needs? How do I build it?

* Do you have nightly CI runs with compiled output? Will they run on Java 8 or do they require the latest Java 9 beta?

* where do I find a set of detailed project goals and community feedback about the API design decisions?


I'm looking to write some glue between the new javadoc API and docbook, in order provide a richer output. You can see the absolutely lovely API documentation the gradle project achieved here:

  https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/

but that was only by completely bypassing Javadoc and writing their own class parsers, docbook integration and styling. Effectively it takes all the javadoc html content, converts it to docbook, adds a layer of docs and styling, then converts it back to html/pdf. I'm looking at something similar but your new API might offer a simpler approach.



Thanks
