FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
It appears that Javadoc no longer support self closing elements like <p/> and <br/>
Is there a good reason for this because changing all my Javadocs to remove/modify these doesn't seem to be a good use of anyone's time.
I know Javadoc nevers used XHTML, but dropping support for it doesn't seem helpful.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use <p/> or <br/> in your Javadoc
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Works like in XHTML
ACTUAL -
an error
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
error: self-closing element not allowed
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
turn everything back into HTML.
SUPPORT :
YES
