How to make javadoc checker not so strict?

I am trying to generate javadoc for some not-mine project with mvn javadoc:javadoc and getting errors like

block element not allowed within inline element <code>: pre

and generation fails.

But I don't understand, why javadoc should be so strict. Is it possible to make it more tolerant?

That's a "problem" introduced with Java 8 which has stricter checking (as you noticed). You can set "failOnError" to "false" in the Maven javadoc plugin to workaround it.

It should also be noted that the real solution is to fix the problem. Not to suppress the errors. However I understand that if your just trying to build a project of someone else a quick "fix" is preferable.
