Description

The @summary tag can be used to indicate, well, the javadoc summary. This is an easy way to prevent the summary to be cut at the first dot (which can be prevented by using a numeric HTML entity, but that’s an ugly workaround).

Example:

/**
 * {@summary Foo, e. g. bar.} Quux.
 */
public void test() {
}

But in this case NetBeans displays only

Quux.
