JDK-8144623 - javac module options need to match runtime options
Description
For compatibility with related tools (javac, launcher), the javadoc tool should support and noisily ignore --add-opens.

This could be done by just passing the option down to javac, and have it noisily ignore the option,

In javac, it is a hidden mostly no-op option Options.java ADD_OPENS("--add-opens", null, null, HIDDEN, BASIC), Arguments.java if (lintOptions && options.isSet(Option.ADD_OPENS)) { log.warning(LintCategory.OPTIONS, Warnings.AddopensIgnored); } But javadoc disables that check: Start.java // Make sure no obsolete source/target messages are reported try { com.sun.tools.javac.main.Option.XLINT_CUSTOM.process(getOptionHelper(), "-Xlint:-options"); } catch (com.sun.tools.javac.main.Option.InvalidValueException ignore) { }
