Created attachment 156647 [details] [PATCH] Fix syntax errors in user properties template JDK 8 and later have strict syntax requirements for Javadoc. Specifically, Javadoc comments must now be written in a particular dialect of HTML, and literal angle brackets must be escaped. The attached patch follows the newer custom of putting the email address in parentheses instead of angle brackets, which causes NetBeans to generate @author annotations that any JDK can parse without errors.
