Gradle's javadoc task stops working when using PlantUML

Question

In a Gradle project I try to use PlantUML. I defined a Gradle task for PlantUML (based on the ANT task) which works fine, and generates png images.

However, the javadoc task of Gradle stops working and I'm getting messages like this one:

...\AbstractKunde.java:91: error: unknown tag: startuml

 * @startuml

I assume that I anyhow must extend the javadoc functionality. Doclets? Anything else? Any hint is appreciated! I'm using Java 8 and Windows 8.1

Hi,

Maybe you should try yo turn off doclint. Example here:
