public final class JavadocEmptyLineBeforeTagCheck extends com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle.api.AbstractCheck
Check for the empty Javadoc line before the group of at-clauses.

The group of at-clauses (@param, @return, @since, @throws and the rest) must always be separated from the description above it by an empty Javadoc line, no matter how many paragraphs that description has. This holds for every Javadoc block: packages, classes, interfaces, enums, enum constants, annotations, annotation fields, records, fields, constructors and methods. See #1810.

The following Javadoc will be reported as a violation, since its description touches the first at-clause:

 /**
  * Just one line here.
  * @since 0.1
  */
 

And this is how it should be written instead:

 /**
  * Just one line here.
  *
  * @since 0.1
  */
 

A Javadoc block with no at-clauses at all, and a block whose very first line already is an at-clause, are both left alone.

Since:
0.27.0
