Javadocs task fails when building project

[udeleng]

I cloned the project locally and ran the "clean build" command. I didn't modify any sources.

gradle clean build

I also see errors like this:

Hm. I don't have such issues. Did you use ./gradlew to make sure to be using the right Gradle version? Are you using at least JDK7?

[udeleng]

I tried again using gradlew (using Java 8) and the only errors I got were in regards to signing:

Cannot perform signing task ':integrations:idea-plugin:signArchives' because it has no configured signatory

Installing the pegdown-doclet plugin jar (pegdown-doclet-idea-plugin-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar) from the built project I downloaded resulted in some error in the IDEA (the configuration screen would not display in Intellij).

Instead, I was able to install pegdown-doclet from the plugins repo. I did enable it for the project and module. I added a "#" in the beginning of one line and pressed CTRL-J (Mac), but the lie was not in bold and the hash symbol displayed as is. I am using IntelliJ 14.

I've also experienced both issues listed here: the javadoc task failing, and the "cannot perform signing task" error. I'm using JDK8. If there's any extra info that would help with debugging, let me know.

[RAnders00]

The "cannot sign" error is perfectly normal. Developers create signatures of their artifacts with their private keys so you can verify that they are indeed from the original author and not from some untrusted source. Because you are not the original developer, you are not provided the private key that is needed to create the signatures, so this message is normal and expected.

Apart from that, it seems like you are supposed to use ./gradlew because it uses the gradle version associated with the project and not the latest version (you probably have a newer gradle version which apparently is not compatible with the build settings of this project)

I fixed this a long time ago in 1e4b464 :)

The signing task gets disabled if we're not going to upload the archives to OSSRH.
