title: How do I modify the Javadoc when I modify someone else's code?
body: <p>I am working on someone else's code and making significant modifications.  (I am converting it to use a different database than the one he originally used.)  How do I indicate in the Javadoc comments that I am not the original author of the code, but that I did make contributions to it.  Is there a clean or standard way of doing this already?  My Googling is not helping me figure this out.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/**
  * This class does some really awesome stuff.
  * 
  * @author Steph the Great - Modified to use PostgreSQL instead of Derby;
  *         added comments to the code
  */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also don't know the original author's name, so all I can put down is myself . . .</p>
