Hi, I noticed that we don't consistently use javadoc tags throughout our code base. Some of them have author tags, others have version tags, some have both, and a lot of them don't have any tags at all.
For the author tag: it's a suggestion from the ASF to not use author tags for several reasons (they get out of date/sync, they might be abused, they imply code ownership etc.). We've seen all this happen at the ASF, so I suggest to simply remove them. If noone objects, I'll do that. (the svn history contains exact information about who changed what) I have no real opinion about the version tags, but as Ate told me these are used by Jetspeed as well, so I think it makes sense to add them to all Java source code. Again, if noone objects I'll add them as well. WDYT? Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler [email protected]
