That classes that have the same name and are in different packages are=20
distinguished. E.g. in the JUnit framework are packages for different fro=
nt=20
ends and each package contains a class TestRunner. Only the first TestRun=
ner=20
that is parsed by doxygen is taken, the others are ignored (or give error=
s=20
the the class TestRunner is documented already).

I don't know how much work it is to implement, that the classes have the=20
"namespace" of their package. But it would be really useful because even =
many=20
of the classes that come with Java have the same name. (And nearly all ja=
va=20
framewoks I use have that "problem" also.)

In general I like doxygen very much, but it's annoying that you can't rel=
y on=20
the generated documentation in this point (without interpreting the produ=
ced=20
error messages).
