@author and @version Tags in Enumeration's Doc Comment

Question

Do I have to put the @author and @version tags in the documentation comment of an enumeration? How to Write Doc Comments for the Javadoc Tool says

* @author (classes and interfaces only, required)

* @version (classes and interfaces only, required. See footnote 1)

and my IDE's documentation comment template for enumerations includes @author.

Answer 1

You put into Javadoc, whatever your organization mandates should be put in Javadoc. At the end of the day its a communication tool, you decide which parts of it you want to use and which you don't.
