title: How to insert creation date in JavaDoc
body: <p>What is the best way to insert the date of the creation of a class in JavaDoc? Some examples:</p>
  
  <p>Below the author tag with the string "created on"</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * Class description
   *
   * @author Author Name
   * created on 2015/04/01
   */
  public class ClassName() {
  ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Below the author tag with the string "Date:"</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * Class description
   *
   * @author Author Name
   * Date:   2015/04/01
   */
  public class ClassName() {
  ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>With a non-existent @date tag</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
   * Class description
   *
   * @author Author Name
   * @date   2015/04/01
   */
  public class ClassName() {
  ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Other...</p>
  
  <p>And eventually, what is the best date format?</p>
  
  <pre><code>April 1, 2015
  2015/04/01
  ...
  </code></pre>
