I've never been able to get the author tags to work in javadoc, and wondered if I was doing something wrong. In my most recent Cattle Drive exercise, the instructor's solution starts with a documentation comment. That one didn't work for me either, and it turns out it doesn't work for Katrina either. Any ideas? I'm appending my

Strange! I have no idea...
I also just tried it and the author tags disappeared. Want to go ask on the forums?
