Hi All,
I've started getting ready for JSF 1.2 and figured that a good
place for the api jar to land is the uber spec project @ G for
JavaEE 5.
I'm most of the way there for Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1 but I was
wondering about javadoc. Does anyone know what the rules are
regarding javadoc in the spec code? I've just been doing a
straight copy/typing of the api and leaving out the javadoc. But
looking back at the Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 spec modules all the
javadoc is there.
No "copying" only "typing" is allowed.
I'd like to submit the patch for Servlet 2.5 and JSP 2.1 in the
next week or so. If anyone knows the definitive answer (or since
we are not lawyers as close to definitive as possible:) I'd love
to hear it.
I have not been copying the javadocs into the specs I have worked
on. I think that our servlet 2.4 and jsp 2.0 specs are copied from
tomcat where they were IIUC donated complete with javadocs by sun.
I think leaving out the javadoc is the wisest course.
Yes, the javadoc comments are owned by Sun. If you would like to
write your own *original* javadoc comments, that would be cool, but
not necessary.
