Description

Due to SBT bug 4350, the daffodil-japi/genjavadoc:doc command fails to generate the Java API documentation with JDK 10 and newer. There also appears to be a bug in SBT that when this command fails, sbt does not see it as an error, so fortunately we can still run the command during integration tests and it will just silently fail on newer versions of Java.

When SBT fixes this issue, we should update the version in project/build.properties so that we can generate Java API documentation using any version of Java.
