JDK-8058150 - JEP 247: Compile for Older Platform Versions
Description
This enhancement is about accepting the -release option as an alternative to the -source/-bootclasspath family of options in javadoc.
Comments
This should just be about setting up the platform classes seen by javadoc. Since javadoc does not do anno processing, the ability to automatically invoke platform-specific processors when used with javac should be ignored when used with javadoc.
