Hoss Man updated SOLR-555:
--------------------------

    Attachment: SOLR-555.patch

added a @solr.component taglet ... any info can be listed in it, and aqt 
minimum that info will show up in the javadocs (and the plugin docs) but if it 
contains a [EMAIL PROTECTED] classname} the first sentence summary of that 
class, and the Runtime Params for that "component" will be listed on the plugin 
docs as well.

need to figure out a clean way to make hyperlinking arround the plugin docs 
work ... wasn't really a big deal before since i was focusing on "flat" plugin 
docs (plugins directly listed all params inherited from their superclasses) but 
in the case of components you want just the summary of what the component does 
for people who are familiar with it; but for people that aren't, you want them 
to be able to click a link to learn more (without sending them to developer 
javadocs).

> Our current strategy of using javadocs for "developer" documentation and the 
> wiki for documenting "user" features only gets us so far -- among other 
> things, it makes it hard to include the "user" documentation in our releases, 
> but it also results in a disconnect between when code changes and when 
> documentation gets updated.
> in an ideal world, "user" documentation would live in the code right along 
> side the implementation, just like with javadocs -- but the standard set of 
> information displayed by javadocs isn't very user friendly.  we should find a 
> better way to allow us to "edit" the info about how to use a plugin right 
> along side the code for that plugin and generate user friendly documentation 
> from that.
