Hi,

I just tried to build antisamy on a windows box. I called mvn package and got the following messages.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.0.1:jar (attach-javadocs) on project antisamy: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc:

There's a post on Stackoverflow that suggests it's an issue with Java 8.
Workaround is to add

  <configuration>
    <failOnError>false</failOnError>
  </configuration>

to the maven-javadoc-plugin part in pom.xml

This is fixed in the 1.5.8 release of antisamy, to be released soon.
