-------------------------------------

             Summary: Additional update* and add* settings
                 Key: MJAVADOC-550
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-550
             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: fix, javadoc
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
         Environment: Windows 7 x64
Apache Maven 3.5.4
            Reporter: Jesko Jochum


It would be good to have more settings. 

The {{default*}} setting, seem to be used if there is no tag yet. The {{defaultVersion}} should be changed to something like:
{noformat}
defaultVersion=${project.version}, ${date:YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS}
{noformat}
, with the {{$\{date:YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS\}}} to show the build date and time time

Several {{update*}} settings could be used to replace the old tags with a new ones, especially an {{updateVersion}} setting would be sensible.
{noformat}
updateAuthor=${user.name}
updateVersion=${project.version}, ${date:YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS}
updateSince=${project.version} // Probably not necessary
{noformat}

An {{addAuthor}} settings could be used to append an author to the existing ones, if the existing string does not yet contain the one to add. 
{noformat}
addAuthor=${user.name}
{noformat}
