Synopsis RFE: Remove Javadoc's timestamp
Category doclet:tbd
Reported Against 1.4.2
Release Fixed
State 11-Closed, duplicate of 4506980, request for enhancement
Priority: 4-Low

Description




A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
Javadoc generates a timestamp in HTML files, e.g. :

<HEAD>
<!-- Generated by javadoc on Wed Feb 25 13:07:37 CET 2004 -->
<TITLE>

I would like to get rid of this timestamp, either by no output or an output like this :

<HEAD>
<!-- Generated by javadoc -->
<TITLE>


JUSTIFICATION :
Without postprocessing, all javadoc files are considered as modified in a CVS environment.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Provide a javadoc argument to avoid the timestamp's generation.
ACTUAL -
A timestamp is always generated as far as I know.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Postprocess the files using a regexp approach.

======================================================================
Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
This has already been implemented in 1.5.0 as -notimestamp.
It was implemented in earlier versions of javadoc as an -X option 
(something like -xnodate).
