I'm going to rip out the </li> then. It's an unnecessary burden. Thanks Jim On 04/16/2013 06:50 PM, Mike Duigou wrote:

You are fiddling with the javadoc for getChars, which is an independent change. (I am also fiddling with getChars in another ongoing change). I don't think closing html tags for <li> are required in javadoc. If you are going to change the exception javadoc, then also change @exception to @throws.
The only reason I'm adding </li> is Alan insisted on it in a previous change I proposed :-)
I don't recall the full context but I have got confused by an early build of doclint where this was an issue. </li> is required by XHTML but not by HTML. doclint was too aggressive about this in early builds.
Having </li> does no harm but it's not required.
