Hi All:
Interesting and I do see your POV. IMO, it also depends on what tools
you use do to your work. I use the Eclipse Javadoc view which presents
the Javadoc comment in a formatted HTML view. I never bother to use the
source of Javadocs to understand what the comments "say" as there
usually is
I'll be honest and say I dislike the convention of using for
null, as as such I'm not greatly enthused by this change. I'd prefer if
no more files were changed.
This comes down to my basic tenet that javadoc is for developers to
read, and it is *frequently* read as source code, not as an HTML
