Enforce JDK8 Doclint in Eclipse

635 views Asked by At

Is there a way to get Eclipse Mars JDT to enforce the new, stricter, JDK8 "doclint" standards such that error levels in Eclipse match the javadoc tool?

It seems much has been written about disabling the Linter, but I want to do the opposite: leave it on and "fix" my javadoc comments.

There doesn't seem to be any compliance setting in Eclipse to enforce certain rules, e.g. the use of HTML entities instead of < and > literals, tag closing rules, banning of XHTML style self closing tags, etc.

In Eclipse I always used the CheckStyle plugin (with my own configuration) to find JavaDoc errors. Also PMD will find some JavaDoc errors (configuration required).
