> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java, tools
> Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 1.9.2, 1.10.2
> Reporter: Oscar Westra van Holthe - Kind
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.11.1

> When parsing IDL, only the last documentation comment for a declaration is
> used.
> Any previous documentation comments are silently ignored.
> Proposed fix: while keeping the exact same parsing results, emit warnings for
> each documentation comment that is ignored.
> Additional suggestion: mention that a common cause for such a warning is
> using a documentation comment instead of a multiline comment.
