It would be nice to have an option to add @author tag to the javadoc of a class when the class is changed.

I.e.:

/**
 * Blah.
 * @author Someone Else
 */


After first edit anywhere in the file (possibly ignoring whitespace) and save, this javadoc comment would turn into

/**
 * Blah.
 * @author Someone Else
 * @author Iwannabe Famous, II.
 */

Thanks for considering.
