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

             Summary: Author tag is removed, even though it should be excluded using the fixTags-setting
                 Key: MJAVADOC-552
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAVADOC-552
             Project: Maven Javadoc Plugin
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: fix
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1
         Environment: Windows 7 x64
Apache Maven 3.5.4
            Reporter: Jesko Jochum


The javadoc:fix goal overrides the {{@author}} tag(s) by default, which is a pity if several developers deserve credit
{noformat}
/**
 * Class developed by several authors.
 * 
 * @author Developer, One
 * @author Developer, Two
 * @author Developer, Three
 * @version 1.0.9, 2018-12-19
 * @since 0.0.1
 */
{noformat}
for the work.

That is why I tried to specifically exclude the {{@author}} tag by adding the configuration:
{noformat}
<!-- Exclude the @author tag from editing, else several author tags of the same class will be replaced by one single @author tag. -->
<fixTags>version,since,param,return,throws,link</fixTags>
{noformat}
Instead of ignoring the {{@author}} tag, i.e. leaving it as it is, it is completely removed!

This effectively makes the {{javadoc:fix}} goal unusable to me.
