    Description

      Consider the following POM snippet for the Javadoc plugin:
      <tags>
      <tag>
      <name>generatorClass</name>
      <head>Generator Class:</head>
      <placement>t</placement>
      </tag>
      <tag>
      <name>version</name>
      </tag>
      <tags>

      This leads to the following contents of the options file passed to javadoc:
      -tag
      "generatorClass:t:'Generator Class:'"
      instead of
      -tag
      generatorClass:t:"Generator Class:"
      -tag
      version

      The single quotation marks produced by the plugin will make it into the generated HTML output which is not intended. Likewise, specifying the version tag should allow to reorder the standard tags but the plugin will simply drop the setting because no further tag option is provided:
      A tag option is empty. Ignore this option.
