Re: [eclipse-dev] New API tooling tags

["Boris Bokowski" <bokowski@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with this too. I have found that in most cases, I was able to
replace the first sentence (not intended to be implemented... etc)
with the standard tag and text generated by code assist. I then moved
any additional information after that standard text.

I don't think that I will be able to treat all of our (Platform UI)
API this way though.
