I noticed this too. Could we change the checkstyle config to allow only whitespace as the @author parameter as a relatively safe starting point,

I have modified the checkstyle to not check for the author
tag in the class java doc.

then
remove the tag per file as we modify them?


I normally try to make two changes - first to make a
file as checkstyle complient as possible and then make
a behaviour change to the file.

Once all
@author arguments were gone, we could probably use REs
to get rid of them cleanly without risking any
innocent javadoc...


I was thinking of adding a rule to checkstyle to whine about @author
tags.
