I looked at the new man pages for javac and found
a couple of problems:
- They contain headers and footers for every page.
All other man pages I see only have a single
footer at the end. This includes the currently
released man pages for javac.1 on both linux and solaris
- All other man pages contain items like this
for See Also:
jar(1), java(1), javadoc(1), javah(1), javap(1), jdb(1),
The new pages contain this sort of thing:
* java - the Java Application Launcher
* jdb - Java Application Debugger
This breaks the xemacs 'man' function -
when you put the cursor on jar(1), it is highlighed
and if you click, it brings up the man page
- it has illegal use of \, ie all on one line:
% javac -classpath /examples:/lib/Banners.jar \ /examples/greetings/Hi.java
instead of
% javac -classpath /examples:/lib/Banners.jar \
/examples/greetings/Hi.java
(I think the old man pages suffered from this too).
- there is junk at the bottom:
* The Java Extensions Framework @
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/extensions/index.html
What is that @ ? This is an improvement over
the junk at the bottom of the tiger man pages:
See or search the Java web site for the following:
