Martin,

I have finally located the script, findMissingSince ;-) I will run it once I have a clean, up to date, jdk8 build. I think it may be a candidate to propose to add to the common scripts in the top-level repo. Because the script won't work out-of-the-box, I suggest an alternative order. First open-source it, then get someone who understands Martin-perl to do the inevitable fixups required for the script to understand javadoc 8 output (I am unusually qualified), and then fix the missing @since in a single Shazam! change. Don't fix the ones identified by Paul right away - leave those as a test case for the script. Alternatively, maybe this is a job for an annotation processor.

-Alan.
