"First sentence should end with a period."

Question

Java checkstyle confuses and baffles me.

package pmain;  /**  * Some text here.  */  public class Main {  } 

This is literally all of the code I have. Checkstyle displays a "First sentence should end with a period." at the "/**".

Why does CheckStyle produce this warning?

Could the checkstyle config I'm required to use be broken? Am I doing something wrong? Is "Some text here" not the first sentence? Is "." not a period?

Answer 1

The first sentence should end with a dot.

/**  *An abstract class that represents an algorithm.  *  * @author zhangtj  *  * @version 1.0 */ 

Would pass.
