SeeTag

public interface SeeTag implements Tag
Represents a user-defined cross-reference to related documentation. The tag can reference a package, class or member, or can hold plain text. (The plain text might be a reference to something not online, such as a printed book, or be a hard-coded HTML link.) The reference can either be inline with the comment, using {@link}, or a separate block comment, using @see. Method name() returns "@link" (no curly braces) or "@see", depending on the tag. Method kind() returns "@see" for both tags.

public java.lang.StringreferencedClassName()
Get the class or interface name of the @see reference. The name is fully qualified if the name specified in the original @see tag was fully qualified, or if the class or interface can be found; otherwise it is unqualified. If @see references only a package name, then return the package name instead. For example, for:

  @see String#valueOf(java.lang.Object)

return "java.lang.String". For "@see java.lang", return "java.lang". Return null if @see references a non-element, such as @see <a href="java.sun.com">.

  @see String#startsWith(java.lang.String)

return the MethodDoc for startsWith.

public java.lang.StringreferencedMemberName()
Get the field, constructor or method substring of the @see reference. Return null if the reference is to any other element or to any non-element. References to member classes (nested classes) return null. For example, for:

  @see String#startsWith(String)

return "startsWith(String)".

public com.sun.javadoc.PackageDocreferencedPackage()
Get the package doc when @see references only a package. Return null if the package cannot be found, or if @see references any other element (class, interface, field, constructor, method) or non-element. For example, for:
