I'm guessing you switched to Java 8. In this version Javadoc is stricter on the requirements.

You have three choices:

1. Fix the errors
2. disable the strict checking
3. skip Javadoc when building

To disable the strict checking, add this to your pom.xml

  
    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-javadoc-plugin
    
      -Xdoclint:none
    
  

to skip Javadoc while building, use this:

mvn -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true verify
