Class LegacyTaglet

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Taglet

    @Deprecated
    public class LegacyTaglet
    extends Object
    implements Taglet
    Deprecated.
    This taglet acts as a wrapper to enable Taglet type taglets to work with the current version of Javadoc. Note: this taglet only works with legacy taglets (those compatible with Javadoc 1.4.x) that writes strings. This taglet is able to wrap most most legacy taglets because the standard doclet is the only known doclet to use legacy taglets.

    This is NOT part of any supported API. If you write code that depends on this, you do so at your own risk. This code and its internal interfaces are subject to change or deletion without notice.
