Blank lines in Javadoc may signal an intention split the text to different paragraphs. However, the Javadoc tool and IntelliJ IDEA will ignore them when rendering documentation comments.
The quick-fix suggests to replace the blank line with a paragraph tag (<p>).
Example:
class Main {
/**
* Doesn't do anything.
*
* Does absolutely nothing
*/
void foo() {}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
class Main {
/**
* Doesn't do anything.
* <p>
* Does absolutely nothing
*/
void foo() {}
}
