javadoc - ignore a comment line

[Kagey]

I was wondering if when using javadoc style comments, there is a tag/flag that will make javadoc skip the tagged/flagged line in a comment when it is compiling the html pages.

thanks

Thought javadoc only took comments that started with /**
Am I wrong? But surely then you can use the /* */ and // comments which will be ignored? Maybe its been too long since using javadoc! Shame on me!

have you tried closing the java comment block an then re-opening it?

/**
*
* some comments
*/

//skip a line

/**
*
* some more comments?
*/


ps - what ide do you use?

Hey guys,

In retrospect, its a pretty dumb question. what i meant was how to make javadoc ignore a certain line inside one of the javadoc comments. like this:

/**
 * Description of class......... 
 * @author Kagey
 * @someTagHere !!!SKIP THIS LINE!!!
 * @version 453
 */

Well, it turns out that it ignores any tag that it doesnt recognize, but it can't come before the class/method description or else the description wont be read.

Cap: i just use editplus and integrated the java compiler. I am using a bat file with option files to run the javadoc creation.

Thanks
