Description
When testing Javadoc, it's sometimes important to diff generated HTML files to see 
if there are any changes.  The date stamp always appears:

< <!-- Generated by javadoc on Fri Jun 08 21:07:45 PDT 2001 -->
---
> <!-- Generated by javadoc on Wed Jun 13 20:38:00 PDT 2001 -->

Please add an option to remove this line from the output -- this would enable 
diffs to show absolutely no change.

Suggested name for option:  -nodatestamp


Comments
PUBLIC COMMENTS The -notimestamp option has already been added to the standard doclet to fix bug 4506980. Although this bug is not an exact duplicate of 4506980, I will close it as a duplicate since it has already been fixed. ###@###.### 2002-08-30
