Except they aren't sentences. They're sentence fragments, and this case is explicitly called out in the [Oracle style guidelines](https://www.oracle.com/technical-resources/articles/java/javadoc-tool.html#tag): "When writing the comments themselves, in general, start with a phrase and follow it with sentences if they are needed. When writing a phrase, do not capitalize and do not end with a period". If the project wants to diverge from that, it's worth calling it out explicitly in a project specific style guide. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
