Hello,

Please review the following change for https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8235435:

    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prappo/8235435/webrev.00/author.patch

This change removes occurrences of @author tags throughout the source files and tests in Javadoc. It cleanly removes all the tags from the sources, but not from all the tests. It has been identified that some of the tests use @author tags, meaningfully as part of their scenarios. More effort is required to find out which, if any, tags can safely be removed from those tests.

Given the sheer number (270) of changed files and the nature of the change, I decided not to create a proper webrev. Instead, the link contains only a single diff file which can be reviewed either as text or in your IDEs.

Thanks,
-Pavel
