Hi, Here is the pull request: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/17508
Motivation: When reformatting Java files, JAVADOC_STYLE cause the license header be treated as doc comments and it will be affected from: /** * ... * with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at * * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, * ... */ to /** * ... * with the License. You may obtain a copy of the License at * <p> * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 * <p> * Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, * ... */ This is annoying and actually fails the license check, while we can replace JAVADOC_STYLE with SLASHSTAR_STYLE and it won't be an issue anymore. Especially after https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/18142 merged, we globally enable checkstyle rules so that the action above will become more and more frequent. Looking forward to your feedback. Best, tison.
