JDK8 has issues with HTML tags in javadoc :

<br /> and <p />

This workaround can be applied to Maven as well (pom.xml):

            <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
              <artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
              <configuration>
                <additionalparam>-Xdoclint:none</additionalparam>
              </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
