    Description

      According to the reference, custom tags like @apiNote etc. should work to configure in the POM:

       <tags>
       <tag>
       <name>apiNote</name>
       <placement>a</placement>
       <head>API Note:</head>
       </tag>
      

      However, when the "site" goal is executed, the build fails with JavaDoc errors like

      Are there any other settings in the POM to make this work, or does it require custom Doclets now, too?
