I am using the DocCheck utility to check the comments in my java packages, classes and methods. Methods that are deprecated have a @deprecated tag in the method comment, but DocCheck then complains about missing @params, etc. Is there any way that I can suppress the checking of deprecated methods?
That's a sensible suggestion.
I'll add it to the list of desired features, and give it
a high priority. Once the deprecated tag is confirmed to
have text that points elsewhere, you're right that it
probably makes sense to ignore anything comments it contains.
On the other hand, I do not believe there is a *requirement*
to point elsewhere (although it is good form).
So someone could code
@deprecated
or @deprecated as of July, 2002
or @deprecated because we thought of a better way
So I wonder: If we make this change, who else will it effect?
