I would also get rid of the author tags too. I guess that in many cases they are not correct anyway as files are constantly changed.

Hello,

why we need the @author tag?
I don't like code owner ship.

well, some do. I am fine without. In fact a lot of Apache project do so, since
there is no "code-ownership". SVN has still all the information


Does your request mean we don't allow the svn:keywords=Date Author Id
Revision HeadURL
in the Subversion config file?

I am sure the talk is *only* inside the Java files, and not removing
the metadata of the file.

Hi,

Sure. For example, take a look
at: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/core/trunk/api/src/main/java/javax/faces/FacesException.java
If we remove the SVN stuff, we'll end up with this JavaDoc comment:
/**
* see Javadoc of<a
href="http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/1.2/docs/api/index.html";>JSF
Specification</a>
*
* @author Manfred Geiler
*/

Or for
example: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/core/trunk/api/src/main/java/javax/faces/application/Application.java
This would become:
/**
* .....
*
* @author Manfred Geiler
* @author Stan Silvert
*/

One last example, a class added in
2.0: 
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/core/trunk/api/src/main/java/javax/faces/application/ResourceHandler.java
Which would end up like:
/**
* @author Simon Lessard
* @since 2.0
*/

What do you think?
BTW. I'm thinking of the best way to do this. I guess the best bet is to
do a massive find-replace on one project at a time. Generating a patch file
would be a nice way to check for possible errors...

Hi

Could you provide an explicit example about how the header of java files
should be?

best regards,

Leonardo
