Javadoc 8 Tags

This project provides the code samples for the CodeFX blog post about the new Javadoc tags @apiNote, @implSpec and @implNote, which are first used in Java 8.

This includes:

• an interface Lottery which uses them
• implementing classes which show how to inherit the tags:
  • OldLottery does not implement the default method ~> the method has no documentation block in the class comment
  • PrivateLottery provides no Javadoc for its implementation ~> the documentation from the default method is copied (and a remark added) without the new tags
  • StateLottery uses {@inheritDoc} ~> inherits the documentation without the new tags
  • UselessLottery uses, e.g., @apiNote {@inheritDoc} ~> inherits those specific tags
• the pom.xml needed to let Maven parameterize Javadoc so that it process the tags
• the created Javadoc to make things a little easier for the Maven averse
