## What's new in this drop

- Added a new API in org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.CharOperation to find if a given character array starts with a given prefix, at the given index. (see details in bug 329288):

          /**
           * Answers true if the given name, starting from the given index, starts with the given prefix,
           * false otherwise. isCaseSensitive is used to find out whether or not the comparison should be
           * case sensitive.
           *
           *
           * For example:
           *
           * 1.   prefix = { 'a' , 'B' }
           *      name = { 'c', 'd', 'a' , 'b', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a' }
           *      startIndex = 2
           *      isCaseSensitive = false
           *      result => true
           *
           * 2.   prefix = { 'a' , 'B' }
           *      name = { 'c', 'd', 'a' , 'b', 'b', 'a', 'b', 'a' }
           *      startIndex = 2
           *      isCaseSensitive = true

- New Javacore option org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.COMPILER_PB_MISSING_JAVADOC_TAGS_METHOD_TYPE_PARAMETERS added to enable or disable the missing Javadoc tag warning or error for a method paramater without a corresponding `@param` tag. (see details in bug 322581):

## What's new in this drop

- Code formatter: 4 new options were added to better handle the addition of new lines after annotations.

       * FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_FIELD
       * FORMATTER / Option to insert a new line after an annotation on a field declaration
       *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.insert_new_line_after_annotation_on_field"

       *     - possible values:   { INSERT, DO_NOT_INSERT }
       *     - default:           INSERT
       *

  The addition of new lines after annotations has been discussed in bug 308000
  Also note that previously available code formatter constant FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_MEMBER has been deprecated.
  All new options must be enabled to activate old strategy.
- The previously added new APIs:

  > `org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageDeclaration#getNameRange()`
