Updating javadoc comments with custom java 5 annotations
Hi,
I have a requirement wherein i want to read javadoc docs from source code and replace it with my own custom java 5 annotation.
For example say i have a file A.java with following javadoc in it:
/*
* @param some parameter
*/
I have to access the compile code as part of build and update the code to use my custom annotation:
Updated A.java would have:
/*
* @mycutsomannotation.param some parameter
*/
Please let me know if anybody has tried out anything on similar lines or any utility or api that could achieve this
Regards
rak

Unlike javadoc tags, annotations on parameters are associated with the parameter and not the method or constructor. For example,
/**
* @param bar
*/
void Foo(@AnnotationOnBar Bar bar)
