Java 1.5 JavaDoc bug MissingResourceException

So trying to do a build today and there were some strange javadoc gen errors like below

java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find resource for bundle com.sun.tools.doclets.formats.html.resources.standard, key doclet.malformed_html_link_tag
   at java.util.ResourceBundle.getObject(ResourceBundle.java:325)
   at java.util.ResourceBundle.getString(ResourceBundle.java:285)

So this is a bad bug in javadoc for Java 1.5

We had a class where the javadoc looked like

/**
* This javadoc had U2
**/

the in the java doc make it think that it is a bad tag

Sun has bug open

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5082928

The fix is using


/**
* This javadoc had <artist>U2
**/


hope this helps someone

Recursively Remove .DS_Store files in OS X

OK so OS X creates these goofy .DS_Store files that i need to delete from everywhere once a while... and just found a way to do them all for a dir and what is in it..

1. open a terminal window
   
2. cd to the dir where you want to remove files from
   
3. type the following command
   

   find . -name *.DS_Store -type f -exec rm {} \;
   

and your done...
