Hi Alan, Javadoc combines documentation and support of a flag in the way the flag handling is implemented. On the other side, it prints the help message anyways if a wrong flag is presented to it, so if you call it with -help you get the help message. Therefore, in my original change where I tried to get it more cleaned up, I removed -help support and documentation from Javadoc.
I added it again and updated the table in the CSR: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~goetz/wr17/8189102-helpMessage/webrev.06/ Best regards, Goetz. > -----Original Message----- > From: Alan Bateman [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Montag, 11.
