Hello,
I'm almost ready with a tool that generates @since tags to JavaFX API.
My question is what should I generate. Essentially, there are three
releases with added API: 2.0, 2.2 and 8.0.
Question 1:
Should we generate @since for the initial stuff that appeared in 2.0?
Question 2:
There are classes and methods marked as "@since JavaFX 1.3" (comments
survived porting to Java). Should I keep it? Or remove/replace by 2.0
based on Q1? Note that I'm not able to compare Java 2.0 API to previous
fx-script API so I cannot make sure everything that existed before 2.0
is marked properly as 1.x.
Question 3:
What should be the format?
(a) - full FX version
2.0: @since JavaFX 2.0
2.2: @since JavaFX 2.2
8.0: @since JavaFX 8.0
(b) - major FX version
2.0: @since JavaFX 2
2.2: @since JavaFX 2
8.0: @since JavaFX 8
(c) - JDK version
2.0: @since 1.7
2.2: @since 1.7
8.0: @since 1.8
Or something else?
As we are going to fully integrate with JDK, I guess I'd go with 3c -
JDK version numbers, marking 8.0 features as "@since 1.8" and everything
else as "@since 1.7". But I'd be fine with any other option as well.
Please let me know what do you think.
Thanks,
Pavel
