public class JavadocReference
extends java.lang.Object
```
Describes a code reference used in javadoc tags see, link and linkplain. The format of the reference given as string is module/package.class#member label. Members must be separated with a # to be detected. Targets either module, package, class or field/method/constructor in class. This class does not know whether the second part part refers to a package, class or both, as they use the same alphabet and separators.
