"First sentence should end with a period."

checkstyle, java

Solution

The first sentence should end with a dot.

/**

Would pass.

Problem

Java checkstyle confuses and baffles me. ``` package pmain; /** * Some text here. */ public class Main { } ``` This is literally all of the code I have. Checkstyle displays a "First sentence should end with a period." at the "/**". Why does CheckStyle produce this warning? Could the checkstyle config I'm required to use be broken? Am I doing something wrong? Is "Some text here" not the first sentence? Is "." not a period?
