  * The AWS CodeDeploy Publisher is a post-build plugin that adds the ability to start a new CodeDeploy deployment
  * with the project's workspace as the application revision.
- * <p/>
+ *
  * To configure, users must create an IAM role that allows "S3" and "CodeDeploy" actions and must be assumable by
  * the globally configured keys. This allows the plugin to get temporary credentials instead of requiring permanent
  * credentials to be configured for each project.
