Hi,

I don't think it has been discussed before, so let's start now. I'm not sure that it's written somewhere on the ASF site, but @author tags are strongly discouraged. (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/207/1037207/apache-enforces-the-removal-of-author-tags).

It would be better to replace them by something like :
@author <a href="mailto:[email protected]";>Apache JSecurity Project</a>

(assuming that the mail address is correct)

The idea is that the code is own by The ASF, not by individuals. The objection that those who originally wrote the code would like to see their name in the header does not really hold, as : - the code can be changed many times since its inception, and we won't put all the authors in the header
- SVN can pretty trace all the authors (svn blame)
- and we already have a file listing the authors (it can be generated with Maven, too)

May be the other mentors can confirm or find evidences I don't have time to search for on The ASF site this morning :)

Thanks !
