Description ulfzibis 2012-01-23 18:51:44 UTC
[ BUILD # : 7.1 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6 ]

Often one has old code with old javadoc tags.
It would be great to have a automatic reformatting e.g.:
<code>...</code>  -->  {@code ...}
  (additionally refer
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7132338)
@exception  -->  @throws
Consistent alignment of tags e.g.:
  @author, @see, @since, @params, @return, @throws
Line wrapping inside /**...*/ at defined column, often 80
