Reports Javadoc comments that don't belong to any class, method or field.

The Javadoc tool ignores dangling Javadoc comments and doesn't include them in the generated HTML documentation.

Example:


  class A {
    /**
     * Dangling comment
     */
     /**
      * Method javadoc
      */
      public void m(){}
  }

A quick-fix is available to delete such comments completely or convert them into a block comment. After the quick-fix is applied:


  class A {
  /*
    Dangling comment
   */
  /**
   * Method javadoc
   */
  public void m(){}
}
