Description hstenger 2011-02-21 12:48:08 UTC 
When using a custom Javadoc tag containing non-letter characters like dots, the highlighting is applied only to the part of the tag name before the first non-letter character.

The documentation of the javadoc tool suggests to include dots in custom tag names to avoid conflicts with future standard tags. See "Avoiding Conflicts" in http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html#tag .

Example:
/**
 * @com.example.mytag This is a test.
 */

Only "@com" is highlighted as Javadoc tag.
