On parsing a Source-File with any JavaDoc containing a Taglet without content before the closing comment QDox will throw a parser error

syntax error @[x, y]

This has been verified with JavaDoc comments on class, field and method level.

Example code:

/**
 * Example Code QDox 1.10.1 can not parse
 * @anytaglet*/
public class TestQDoxBug {

	/** @anytaglet*/
	int a;

	/** @anytaglet*/
	void m() { /* void */ }
}

A few things to note:

• I'm perfectly aware this is very bad style (especially when the original author had done this with a @deprecated taglet ), but I had to deal with this problem in existing code and it took me quite some time to figure out, since QDox seems to always get the line-numbers somewhat too high on this one (looks like it's always signaling the error is on the start of the NEXT JavaDoc block)
• The problem is still around in the current snapshot version (from 2010-01-10)
