As Java developers, we so rarely get to use $ in our code, so it would be a shame to see these little gems vanish from our sources ;) I honestly don't care. I have looked at $Date$ before to lazily see when a file was last modified, but that is unreliable and it is very easy to get that info from svn, so I am fine dropping all these little tokens from sources. I don't think we need a Commons-wide policy, though. Those who are bothered by them can remove them and no one seems likely to complain based on this thread. > @version should not be banned but only discouraged to use ...unless > really really necessary. Agreed - energy should go into making sure @since is there and correct.
