I am currently evaluating visual paradigm community edition (v2.1 build 20030520z).

When I try to preview the generated java code, all my entered class documentation is replaced by the text “@author” in the generated code AND in the model (i.e. the documentation is lost).

Is this a bug only in the community edition? Is there a workaround to this?
