> Key: MJAVADOC-552
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-552
> Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: fix
> Affects Versions: 3.0.1
> Environment: Windows 7 x64
> Apache Maven 3.5.4
> Reporter: Je Jo
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 3.1.0

>
> The javadoc:fix goal overrides the {{@author}} tag(s) by default, which is a
> pity if several developers deserve credit
> {noformat}
> /**
> * Class developed by several authors.
> *
> * @author Developer, One
> * @author Developer, Two
> * @author Developer, Three
> * @version 1.0.9, 2018-12-19
> * @since 0.0.1

> {noformat}
> for the work.
> That is why I tried to specifically exclude the {{@author}} tag by adding the
> configuration:
> {noformat}
> <!-- Exclude the @author tag from editing, else several author tags of the
> same class will be replaced by one single @author tag. -->
> <fixTags>version,since,param,return,throws,link</fixTags>
> {noformat}
> Instead of ignoring the {{@author}} tag, i.e. leaving it as it is, it is
> completely removed!
> This effectively makes the {{javadoc:fix}} goal unusable to me.
