Aseem Bansal commented on GROOVY-7577:
--------------------------------------

I noticed that If I change gapi to api the correct thing is shown. Is there a 
reason why there are two hosted? I landed at the gapi version via google search.

> Groovy class docs all have ASF license as their explanation

> I opened one of groovy's API docs and noticed a weird thing. The only 
> explanation that the class had is ASF license.
> e.g.
> http://docs.groovy-lang.org/2.4.4/html/gapi/index.html?groovy/lang/GroovyObjectSupport.html
> I checked the source at 
> https://github.com/apache/incubator-groovy/blob/master/src/main/groovy/lang/GroovyObjectSupport.java
>  and found that there is some actual explanation but that is not present in 
> the API docs.
> So basically somehow the complete groovy API docs are missing a lot of 
> information. 
> I opened 
> http://docs.groovy-lang.org/2.4.4/html/gapi/groovy/lang/package-summary.html 
> and saw that the description column contains the ASF license. Certainly 
> nobody would expect that in an API documentation. 
> Now I am sure that this is not required by Apache software Foundation as I 
> cross-checked in other Apache projects and they had some actual explanation.
> It would be great if this is taken care of because in my opinion this just 
> makes the API docs very bad.
