Is there a version control process for introducing new features to the Javadoc specification? My question is inspired by seemingly new tags: @apiNote , @implSpec and @implNote , which appear in the Java 8 source documents. I know that these tags are not standard and can be changed - if the Java gods decided that these tags are standard in the new version of Javadoc, where could a developer find this information?
I have read Oracle docs that link to Javadoc versions starting from version 1.1 and ending with 1.4, which may result in each version of Java having a new version of Javadoc, but I cannot find any evidence to support this assumption.
The only legal link I've ever met is related to the Javadoc spec / best practices / accepted tags: How to write Doc comments for the Javadoc tool .
