By default we configure the Maven Javadoc plugin to raise any warnings as errors when validating the Javadocs in our code. That helps us to keep the comments valid and up-to-date. But Java 17 brings more strict checks for missing Javadocs. So as a result, we have lot of missing Javadoc errors. We decided to proceed with move to Java 17 and for now, we disabled the failOnWarnings flag for the topic-operator module. But we should get back to it, fix it and re-enable it again.
