>                 Key: DRILL-6677
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6677
>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.15.0
>            Reporter: Paul Rogers
>            Priority: Major
>
> Consider the following Java snippet:
> {code}
> import com.foo.Bar;
> /**
>   This is a reference to {@link com.foo.Bar}
> {code}
> Eclipse will notice the reference to {{com.foo.Bar}} in the Javadoc comment and its automatic import fixer-upper will include the import.
> But, check style appears to ignore Javadoc imports. So, Check style reports the import as unused.
> The only way, at present, to make Check style happy is to turn off the Eclipse import fixer-upper and do everything manually.
> Request: modify check style to also check for class references in Javadoc comments as such references are required for the Javadoc to build.
