           Represents a JavaDoc tag. Each tag has a name and a value. Optionally, the value can be broken up into tokens accessed by index or name.
The JavaClass,

                    support comments and DocletTags
The returned DocletTag carries
			the name, value and methods for breaking up the value into specific parameters.
