title: Does adding meta-information suffice for including myself as additional @author of a class?
body: <p>Me and my colleague are in the process of developing domain model for a small part of our project. Recently he committed skeleton entity classes to our SVN repository without adding JPA annotations. At the same time I have designed physical data model and created corresponding database objects. Now I need to map the entity classes to the database, making various decisions about <em>inheritance strategies</em> and other things. Does annotating classes qualify me as additional <code>@author</code>? I know that typically, additional <code>@author</code> tag could be added when some crucial changes had been made to the class. But what if I provide only meta-information?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong><br>
  It's not about ego. It's about whether it's common and considered a good practice.<br>
  Some say @author tags are useless, since the code is under <em>version control</em> anyway.<br>
  But I personally don't think so. This tag could be quite useful in some cases.</p>
