The compiler will know about these references in the future. Moving to JDT/Core for comments References are now seen in Javadoc for @throws and @see tags when Javadoc
option is activated. So this would fix the problem for these tags...
For embedded tags as {@link...}, this would be done when bug 48385 will be
fixed.
Reopen to resolve it as duplicate... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 48385 *** Ooops, duplicate is not right => reopen |
When writing Javadoc, the programmer must sometimes import or otherwise reference an external class if they want to be able to link to its Javadoc. e.g. if you want to write this in Javadoc {@link com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule} and have Javadoc generate a hyperlink, then you need to include something like this in your source, even thouogh the declaration is unnecessary for correct compilation: import com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule; The options presented by the Quick fixer in this case are : "Remove import" and "Organize imports". What is really needed here is an additional "Ignore" option, since this problem is likely to increase with large, heavily-documented projects.
