mvn build fails at JavaDoc step

[mkoegel]

If I run the build as per the documentation I get the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin:3.3.2:jar (attach-javadocs) on project fosstars-rating-core: MavenReportException: Error while generating Javadoc: Project contains Javadoc Warnings -> [Help 1]
Workaround: Add option -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true to omit the JavaDoc

The build also fails with OpenJDK 18 due to Serialization Errors. So the Java 8+ requirement is not entirely true.

I just hit this same error trying to built with openjdk 11.0.12 2021-07-20. Using the workaround above does allow the build to complete.
