Invalid version range in Maven doclint-java8-disable profile with gson 2.6.2

[JulienGremillot]

Apparently, I'm running into the same problem that some people had a few versions ago (cf. #588)

Project ID: com.google.code.gson:gson-parent
Reason: Invalid JDK version in profile 'doclint-java8-disable': Unbounded range: [1.8, for project com.google.code.gson:gson-parent

I'm running Maven 2.2.1 but it's the first time I see this kind of problem.

Hi, i have the same error. My problem is maven-ant-tasks. It is no longer maintained and it works with jdk lower then 1.8 so because of it, it comes to a error. The only solution that i found is to use gson 2.6.1.

I had the same issue and I think the error comes from gson-parent JDK version. The range is invalid. To fix it I overwrite the maven-javadoc-plugin settings.

 <!--JavaDoc profile-->
<profile>
  <id>doclint-java8-disable</id>
  <activation>
    <jdk>[1.8,)</jdk>
  </activation>
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <additionalparam>-Xdoclint:none</additionalparam>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</profile>

It simply disables the doclint for Java8. The difference with the original settings is:

-    <jdk>[1.8,</jdk>
+    <jdk>[1.8,)</jdk>

This error seems fixed since the v2.7.0.

Looks like this was fixed by #820; though the current pom.xml does not contain that specific version range anymore anyway.
