Description Robert Wenner CLA 2004-12-10 20:03:27 EST
HTML Entities in Javadoc like &quot; &nbsp; &gt; &lt; &amp; should not be marked
as typos.

CVS / SVN markers like the $Id: ... Exp $ line should not be checked.

In this JavaDoc line
    @author <a href="mailto:robert.wenner@gmx.de">Robert Wenner</a>
it should ignore "mailto", "@gmx.de" and the closing "</a>".
(The Ignore Internet Adresses option is on.)

Comment 4 Robert Wenner CLA 2006-10-03 12:08:09 EDT
I also noted that leading and trailing special characters and punctuation seem to confuse the spell checker. For example, in 
    System.out.println("--host <host>\tsets the host name to connect to");
it flags --host, <host>, and \tsets.
Comment 5 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2006-10-09 03:45:38 EDT
IMHO the complete "mailto:" address should be ignores if "Ignore Internet Address" option is enabled.
Comment 6 Dani Megert CLA 2006-11-20 10:31:28 EST
Special html chars are now ignored (see bug 58620).
The rest of this PR will be deferred.
Comment 7 Dani Megert CLA 2007-06-22 09:59:09 EDT
Get rid of deprecated state.
Comment 8 Leif Arne Storset CLA 2008-06-25 19:39:32 EDT
In javadoc tags such as {@link org.helloworld.milkyway.domain.PlanetBase}, the package path (org.helloworld.milkyway) should be ignored. (This example is from the Sculptor Hello World tutorial.)
Comment 9 Eclipse Genie CLA 2020-03-01 05:40:31 EST
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
