Javadoc -linksourcetab gone in 1.5?

[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 ..
<http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4510979>

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

Would love to. Unfortunately, I have an old account associated with my
e-mail address. It's so old that it doesn't have a "security question",
so there's no way for me to reset my password.

I think filing a bug report does no longer require JDC membership:

If they still do, I am a frequent user of this page :

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

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