Javadoc -linksourcetab gone in 1.5?

I

Ian Pilcher

The '-linksourcetab' option seems to have mysteriously vanished from
javadoc in 1.5.0_04. (And I do mean mysteriously, I can't find anything
about this on Sun's site.)

Anyone know what's going on?

I could only see one reference to ntis option on Su's site.

"New feature: Added -linksourcetab option
to convert each tab to n spaces.
This option is experimental and may change.

Maybe you should report it on the bug report ..

It may have been accidentally broken in 1.5, or maybe
Sun realised it broke other things. Who can say?

Like I said, my account is so old that it doesn't have a security
question. I can't use that page.

So - be pro-active. Get a new email (they are a dime
a dozen) register again with Sun.

I have registered with Sun 2 or three times when forgot
previous emails / passwords / whateverwhocares?justgimme'access ..

Can't you just resign up with a different Email address?
