http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18912 Javadoc: nested element "tag" does not allow empty description attribute Summary: Javadoc: nested element "tag" does not allow empty description attribute Product: Ant Version: 1.5 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ANT requires the attribute "description" for the nested element "tag". This is fine if you want to add custom tags. But the only possibility to determine the output order of custom and standard tags. From the Javadoc documentation: (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#javadoctags) "Order of tags - The order of the -tag (and -taglet) options determine the order the tags are output. You can mix the custom tags with the standard tags to intersperse them. The tag options for standard tags are placeholders only for determining the order -- they take only the standard tag's name. (Subheadings for standard tags cannot be altered.)" So ANT unfortunately hinders me to determine the order of the tag output by not allowing empty "description" attributes for standard tags.
