             Summary: extend checkJavaDocs.py to methods,constants,fields
                 Key: LUCENE-4324
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4324
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: general/build
            Reporter: Robert Muir


We have a large amount of classes in the source code, its nice that we have 
checkJavaDocs.py to ensure packages and classes have some human-level 
description.

But I think we need it for methods etc too. (it is also part of our 
contribution/style guidelines: 
http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/HowToContribute#Making_Changes)

The reason is that like classes and packages, once we can enforce this in the 
build, people will quickly add forgotten documentation soon after their commit 
when its fresh in their mind.

Otherwise, its likely to never happen.
