[jira] [Created] (JCLOUDS-546) Remove @author from javadocs

Chris Custine created JCLOUDS-546:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove @author from javadocs
                 Key: JCLOUDS-546
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-546
             Project: jclouds
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Chris Custine
            Priority: Trivial


There is a long standing board resolution that discourages use of @author tags in Apache project javadocs.  jclouds source also contains @author tags attributing authorship to people that are not committers (from the Github days).  I know its a pain, but it might be a good task prior to 1.8 and maybe even a 1.7.x release.  

Hadoop and other projects also have automated checks to flag patches with @author tags so that is something to consider down the road.
