Interface SeeTag

All Superinterfaces:
Tag
@Deprecated(since="9",
            forRemoval=true)
public interface SeeTag
extends Tag
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
The declarations in this package have been superseded by those in the package jdk.javadoc.doclet. For more information, see the Migration Guide in the documentation for that package.

Represents a user-defined cross-reference to related documentation. The tag can reference a package, class or member, or can hold plain text. (The plain text might be a reference to something not online, such as a printed book, or be a hard-coded HTML link.) The reference can either be inline with the comment, using {@link}, or a separate block comment, using @see. Method name() returns "@link" (no curly braces) or "@see", depending on the tag. Method kind() returns "@see" for both tags.
