Description
@deprecated tag doesn't work in package-info files.
Comments
EVALUATION One should be able to tag a package @deprecated. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/javadoc.html#@deprecated : This tag is valid in all doc comments: overview, package, class, interface, constructor, method and field. But see doclets/internal/toolkit/taglets/DeprecatedTaglet.java: public boolean inPackage() { return false; }
