Bug#897612: groovy: [FTBFS] groovy: 2.4.15-1 ftbfs due to invalid javadoc links

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

Package: groovy
Version: 2.4.15-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


Note: Copied from Ubuntu bug #1765885 [1].

Starting with openjdk-10 all invalid, unreachable, or nonexistent javadoc links cause the javadoc to throw out an error - until openjdk-9 they were simply ignored with at most a warning.

groovy currently FTBFS due to:

Starting process 'command '/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javadoc''. Working directory: /<<PKGBUILDDIR>> Command: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javadoc @/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/target/tmp/javadocAll/javadoc.options -J-Xmx1g
Successfully started process 'command '/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/javadoc''
javadoc: error - Error fetching URL: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/
javadoc: error - Error fetching URL: http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/
javadoc: error - Error fetching URL: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-cli/javadocs/api-release/
javadoc: error - Error fetching URL: http://junit.org/junit4/javadoc/latest/
javadoc: error - Error fetching URL: http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/
javadoc: error - Error fetching URL: http://www.antlr2.org/javadoc/

The fix is to replace all links with locally available apis and have the package build depend upon the packages that provide these files.
