Description crosati 2007-10-04 10:56:28 UTC

If I reference a class in a javadoc comment without the fully specified name and I put an explicit import of that class (in order to have javadoc working without 
error messages) in the editor I continue to see that import marked as "Unused Import".

Comment 1 Jiri Prox 2007-10-05 08:20:01 UTC

Which kind of reference? I don't know any reference type in javadoc which needs importing class.

Comment 2 crosati 2007-10-05 09:18:29 UTC

If you write this kind of comment:

/**
* The {@link JButton} ...
*/
public void someFuncion ()...

if java.swing.JButton is not imported then javadoc raises an error
but if I put the import NB suggest me to remove it because not used

Comment 3 Max Sauer 2007-10-11 12:31:58 UTC

Thanks for clarification. I think this is not a P3 Bug. This produces only a javadoc-compile warning, and disables the
link inside of the javadoc. Also, the linked class would be typically imported anyway..

implemented
