This is a good place to see the issue: http://processing.org/reference/mouseDragged_.html

In the source, we have this:

   * @webref input:mouse
   * @see PApplet#mouseX
   * @see PApplet#mouseY
   * @see PApplet#mousePressed
   * @see PApplet#mousePressed()
   * @see PApplet#mouseReleased()
   * @see PApplet#mouseMoved()

But in the final reference file, there are two links to mousePressed and none to mousePressed()

Javadoc can tell the difference between fields and methods, so it should be able to parse the above and give us the results we want. Even leaving out the @see tag for the field, though, I end up getting linked to the field, not the method. Poking around in the generator code, it's possible that we could catch this in our getName() method.

I'll look at this once I can build the reference generator on my machine again; switching to Mavericks broke ant compiling. Would be happy for advice on how to point ant to the javadoc packages in this brave new world.
