naren2605 opened a new issue, #7640:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7640
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 22
### What happened
formatting source file is not formatting content with inline javadoc tags
like `@return` correctly
### Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component
_No response_
### How to reproduce
reformat source file with below sample
### issue details
The formatter messes up Javadoc like {@return foo}.
For example formatting this:
```java
/**
* {@return foo}
*/
String bar() {
return null;
}
```
Actual:
```java
/**
*
* {
*
* @return foo}
*/
String bar() {
return null;
}
```
Expected:
```java
/**
* {@return foo}
*/
String bar() {
return null;
}
```
### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
No / Don't know
### Operating System
macOS
### JDK
openjdk 22.0.1
### Apache NetBeans packaging
Apache NetBeans platform
### Anything else
### root cause analysis
- `@return` is always treated as block tag , since java 16 return can be
both inline and block tag as mentioned in the the
[spec](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/22/docs/specs/javadoc/doc-comment-spec.html#Where%20Tags%20Can%20Be%20Used)
- this also happens with any inline tag which is not present in list
mentioned
[here](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/java/java.source.base/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/source/save/Reformatter.java#L4825)
Fixing this will also close [issue in oracle java vscode
#194](https://github.com/oracle/javavscode/issues/194) , will be raising pr for
this issue
