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.
